A Man Who Lives
Shardae Lynne Ward 2005 (Oklahoma)
When a man is hungry he must be fed
When a man is poor he needs money
When a man needs money he needs a job
When a has no job he needs a family
When a man has no family he needs a home
When a man has no health he needs a heart
When a man has no smile he needs Icecream
When a man is cold he needs a coat
When a man lives on the streets he needs greetings
When a man has nothing he wants nothing more
Only to live trusting God
