The Plastic Roof

Sure as the rain
walks a determined old man
slumped, in pain, from this heavy strain
a goal in mind, he waste no time

A plastic roof for his makeshift home
a prize for sure on this rainy day
a tree, a bridge, a small community
a place to call home
we all wish to belong...

Sad to see this lonesome sight
sure hope he makes it
there's still some daylight...

Too scared to share
we turn our head
say we'll pray, for a nice sunny day


Job 31-32  pause for thought...

Thank you for implying our resposibility to the communitity in which we live.  The responsibility no longer rests on the shoulders of government based social (welfare) programs, but on us in whom it was intended all along.  The epitome of Jesus Christ on earth...  God Bless You, Bob <><

Nice reminder to tell me to continue to give of what I can with what I have...
