One Homeless Man

A tribute to the homeless.......... I watched as he came ambling along his face kinda weathered yet still very strong the traffic was slow as he came down the street and then I saw he had no shoes on his feet he seem not to care as he came my way and all I could do was stand there and pray he had not a dime no money he owned and you could tell by looking that he had no home but the smile that he gave as he went on his way will remain in my heart for the rest of my days.......

It is unfortunate that their numbers appear to be on the rise. They are in every large city in the country; even Honolulu, Hawaii. Nice write.

I know Lindsay But some times I wonder if some of them are the lucky ones,they know where they are at,this man had nothing but his beautiful smile,but he gave that willingly,he gave all he could... thanks for stopping by
