                       Do you
                       want to
                       change
                       your
                       Current
                       Location

Would you mind
just walking this way
it might not've been
what you planned on today

The shirt i wear
has a price tag too
The shirt i wear
was worn by you

             Do you want to
              change your
            Current Location

but you can't
get
onto your feet

Remember
you who
Put me here

Allow me
to help you
down this street

Walt, this is intense. Homelessness and poverty are bitter shoes to wear. Being alone and without friends is on the same scale of despair.

(tears fall down my cheeks) So very sad, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all these homeless and lonely people and I pray with all my heart we can reach out to them all and help them down the street and to find love and what they need! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have a very loving and compassionate heart, this is sad but very well-written! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walter, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
