My shoes are dirty, but yet I walk on; My mouth is full, so I shallow; My hands are cold so I rub them; later I put them in my pocket.. My clothes are dirty, yet I still wear them; Got no washer or dryer or extra money; So I just spray on extra deodorant; Guess I'm not that pleasant to be around then So this is my reality Homeless, improvised, yet I'm free; Go to the shelters, all I have is my tattered bible Jesus and God and Me This is the homeless testimony You might be at the kitchen You throw me some food and I don't know what I'm eating; But I am forever glad and grateful; Yes, this is my reality Still I got Jesus and God and Me This is my homeless testimony So when you see me panhandling Don't roll your eyes and windows and scream at me; I might or might not be that angel God's talkin bout; Don't judge me For you ain't got no heaven nor hell to put me; My clothes are dirty, yet I still wear them; Got no washer or dryer or extra money; So I just spray on extra deodorant; Guess I'm not that pleasant to be around then So this is my reality Homeless, improvised, yet I'm free; Go to the shelters, all I have is my tattered bible Jesus and God and Me This is the homeless testimony At the least pray for, pray for me as I will .... Pray for you...Jesus and God and Me This is the homeless testimony 4/3/18 Written by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018 from anthology "Spring Sonata"
