You walk the streets Unshaven, dirty and cold Your clothes ragged and torn Hanging upon your thin body You come to our door We ask you to come in We help you get clean We feed you We give you new clothes A shave You say nothing We want you to stay But when we are not looking You are gone again Wandering the cold streets Lost Walking in the dark Far from home Somehow you find your way Home again Again you are dirty Haggard, un-kept You skin brown and tough Your hair ragged and dirty Weathered feet and torn shoes We help you get clean again You sit there not saying a word As before Again when we are not looking You disappear into the darkness You are a mystery How you wander the earth We ask ourselves when will it be When you’ll come back again When that time comes… We’ll do the same again Why? You know the answer |

SweetBirdOfSong~ The first thing that comes to mind is unconditional love~ To do for another because it's what we do, expecting nothing in return ... but hoping and praying for that person to gain from the giving~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

So many mothers' children are wandering the streets unable to help themselves. How heartbreaking. Blessed are they if they have a home to come back to for the love and care they so desperately need. Thoughtful and heart touching poem. Joyce |

faith and sin...faith and sin...i returned to my father's house one last time...only to look through glass but i did not go in! the glass had become opaque and i could not see. the destiny of such a man, without faith, is to roam the earth as a wanderer for all eternity. the ghost is a lost soul unable to ask for forgiveness...he is blinded by his ignorance!...there go both the ewe and the eye, except for the grace of god!
