“Homeless”

He watches as they hurry by,

Not giving him a glance

They think he wants a hand-out, but

He simply wants a chance.

To rise above the circumstances

That put him where he is

He wants the chance to try again

To make the future his.

He needs to know someone cares

If he should live or die,

But no compassion does he see

And he begins to cry.

He turns away and crouches down

So no one sees his tears;

He thinks about the days ahead,

And all the empty years.

This poem is about the homeless people that each of

us see every day.Whether it be a man. woman, or child

they do exist and we all have seen them. Are you guilty of

turning away from one of these people?

Have you ever thought "there but for the Grace of God, go I".

If not, then it's time for you to think about it the next

time you see one of these people. A kind smile to many

of them would mean more than you can ever imagine.

A smile would validate their existance as a human, and

how much does a smile really cost you?
