Homeless Shelter

Homeless Shelter 

shopping carts are being pushed away 
blankets are being carried away 
sleeping bags are in high demand 
tents are hard to fasten to the ground 
i like it better by the church 
the prayers of all the little ones 
surround my head where their little feet were at 
on a rug just outside the door 
that is where i lay 
a homeless 
today
