Poem

Don't wake me as you're passing
'Cause you'll interrupt my scheme
I may look like I'm sleeping
But I'm living out a dream

I chose this place to linger
It's my favorite resting spot
It lies between the bakery
And the mission with the cots

I close my eyes and drift away
To memories of the past
I savor recollection
But the feeling doesn't last

The smell of mamas cooking
Has to give way to the cold
I turn my back against the chill
With the blanket that I hold

I doze in Autumn slumber
As a gray sky hangs above
The smell of bread and pastries
Fill my nostrils with their love

Again I'm back to other days
Where I remember when
I'd walk down to the fishing hole
And maybe jump right in

I'd lay back in a field of grass 
And watch the clouds go by
One looks like a pony
As it races 'cross the sky

Suddenly a city bus
Goes rumbling past my ear
It scares me and I sit up
On the bench that I endear

I rub my eyes and look around
I see the fading light
It's time to head down to the place
That keeps me safe at night

The shelter gives me comfort
And they see that I am fed
They give me bed and blanket
With a pillow for my head

I take their generosity
And find a place to lay
I place my things upon the cot
Then bow my head to pray

"Lord don't let this be my life
I've had so much before
I beg you, let me be redeemed
I know you're at the door"

That being said, I go to bed
To carry out my scheme
Don't wake me as you're passing
'Cause you'll interrupt my dream
