A Homeless Prayer
A Homeless prayer
Dear Father, now I lay me down to sleep,
Thank you for the Newspapers people leave,
We lay the papers as blankets and sheets.
If I should die before I wake, I pray
Someone will see hope in my family.
And please bless my Beth she works tirelessly
In her heart always believing in me,
Even when the factory downsized me.
God bless the people on streets that pass bye
Unable to see my family tried.
Bless you for keeping my children healthy,
Though the baby has bad teeth, hard to see,
But thank you for these beautiful babies.
Finally Father,
Please keep my family safe on the streets,
My son's being teased about his soiled jeans,
Hope we remain friends,
Amen.
