Homeless Man S Rebirth of Hope, Faith, and Love

(2/7/13) Who is homeless? You ask me! Let me explain it easily! Homeless is in every part of the world It covers any adult – boy or girl It can be an individual or a family who has lost everything. The first thing they lose is hope, and the willpower to even cope. Then they lose Self Respect, and it gets better yet They lose faith in their fellow man Something that they cannot understand. Now when hope and faith is taken away Then love does not want to stay Now that the three things are gone How can they carry on? But out of the blue a hand or kind word is said: “Here come inside warm your feet! Have a little something to eat Lay down on this bed-just to rest your weary head. In the back there is a shower, and I’ll lay out a change of clothes For you to wear. I don’t have much, but with you I’ll share.” They now sit on the bed to contemplate Hope is now beginning to rejuvenate. Their faith is now starting to creep in As they ask themselves: “is there a chance that I could win?” Is there something that I do not see? When these hardships are thrown at me? Now that you have seen hope and faith Maybe love is not too late. Then with a hug – a show of love is given Now they see that life is worth living. Now these three things have been restored Helplessness will thrive no more. © L . RAMS
