If you see me on the street
And wonder where I live,
Or feel the urge to take my hand
And ask what you can give,
Don't pity me from what you see
Or shake your head and groan -
For I am walking with my Lord
And never walk alone.
Yes, my tattered clothes are worn
And shoes are wearing thin,
But actually, they look quite good
In light of where I've been;
Don't pity me for what I wear -
They fit me like a glove!
Besides, I'm walking with my Lord
Who wraps me with His love.
I may not have two coins to rub
Or paper bills to fold,
My earthly needs are always met
With miracles untold!
Don't pity me for being poor
Or lack of life's extremes,
For I am walking with my Lord
And rich beyond your dreams.

Poetry: Don't pity me
by Jane Allyson
I drew the flash of temper,
I am the one to blame.
I made the heart grow heavy,
I caused the eyes to flame.
I was weak and
Don't pity me because my hair is gray:
years took its toll, causing my back to sway,
roads were rocky and hills hard to climb,
nights
Don't pity me
the woman whispered
even though I die alone,
for I have lived a full life,
never stooping to pick up
after
Don't pity me all you people,
the very ones who shot me down;
making sure when I was happy,
somehow you caused a frown.
Don't
I am an old man, whithered and bent
My youth and vigor are all spent
You may think it's sad, don't
