She sits by the pavement,
begging for alms
and some thought
with open arms
The farmer looks up,
asks for some rain
and hope
with open arms
A child learns to walk,
asks for a finger
and strength
with open arms
A soldier raises his gun,
asks for guts
and peace
with open arms
Mother bosoms families,
asks for nothing,
simply gives
with open arms
with open arms
I wait for yours…
