A Dream House
A Dream Home
By Elton Camp
When it’s a homeless man you see
Likely he wants a life like you & me
None sane will you ever meet
Who enjoys living on the street
He dreams of a comfortable home
From place-to-place not to roam
Perhaps to have a loving wife
To be free from such awful strife
Regularly to enjoy a hot meal
Never have to beg or to steal
To hold a job with self respect
Living a normal life to expect
Not see people react with surprise
With disgust to divert their eyes
We shouldn’t view him with disdain
As if homeless he prefers to remain
I am thankful when such I see
For how easily that could be me
