 Buddy can you spare a dime?
As I gaze out my window at a blanket of snow, I see all the stray animals with no place to go.

I occasionally will feed them then they would be on their way!  What a terrible life the life of a stray.

Just to be wanted, is that too much to ask?  Just to be loved, this is not a big task.

They will hide under any dry spot they find, That will provide them with shelter and some peace of mind!

Oh the life of a stray it's not very pretty, as they roam the streets hungry from City to City!

It is not just the animals it's people too, Freezing in this bitter cold!  Are they just lost souls in society because they are feeble or maybe too old?

That might be one of us out there someday, needing a hand up not a hand out!  Maybe then we would truly understand what having it tough is all about.

Will they live through another winter?  Only time will tell, Please remember that they are out there,  as you Play video games or talk on your cell.

They are the truly forgotten, the ones really in need, that suffer each day by this worlds greed!

We can't help them all, but we can each help one at a time.  We would think very differently the next time a stranger says....Hey buddy can you spare a dime?
