Homeless For the Holidays-Serpentine Verse-
Christmas is around the corner
the cold weather is here,
snow has finally fallen
they're homeless again this year.
They sleep on park benches
better than sleeping on the ground,
they really can't stand it
when this time of year comes around.
They bundle up so tightly
to keep themselves warm,
covered in many newspapers
trying to stay safe through the storm.
They want somebody to love them
people to stop giving them nasty looks,
they are as human as we are
under their feet, the ground has been shook.
We have to think of them
when our lives are full of bliss,
GIVE them a hot cup of chocolate
because around the corner, is Christmas.

If we don't think of them at any other time of the year, we should at least take one day out of our lives, to show the homeless of the world, that they aren't going to be forgotten. We have to remember, Christmas is more about GIVING ... not receiving.
