You look at me distastefully
As you hurriedly walk on by
So disgusted by what you see
You cannot look me in the eye

Don't even think for a minute
That I wanted it this way
But this is where I live
On this bench is where I lay

My friends deserted me long ago
They just didn't understand
I had fallen on hard times
In desperate need of a helping hand

But no one was there to help me
I was left to cope alone
The walls had all caved in
And I was left without a home

This bag holds my belongings
I really don't have much
Just a collection of my memories
A few photographs and such

The pigeons that surround me
They don't judge me like you do
How I wish my life were different
And that my troubles were only few

My heart says much about me
It's the most valuable thing I own
At night it keeps me company
And I don't feel so much alone

I'm sorry I spoil the scenery
On this 'proper' side of town
But I will remain defiant
You alone won't bring me down

I tried to picture what it must be like
for a homeless person who has no place
to call home.

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, you are a true angel, sweet friend, while you are not homeless you always can step into ones shoes who truly is and know how they feel and reach out to them! (sad sigh) I wish everyone else in the world can feel like you do and imagine how the homeless feel and think, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Gosh Sue this is so wonderful but so gut-wrenching to read. I'm beginning to think you are a mystic. Great, great words.

Sue: I'm sure you have captured a lot of what a homeless person feels, but I guess none of us who have homes, can really know what it's like. Unfortunately, you can find them everywhere you go and it is a heart-wringing sight. I always pray it will never happen to me and also that somehow they will find homes.

Thanks for this. Very important for us to remember how many are less forunate than we.
