Praying For Homeless Help

With no shoes upon her feet She searches for food to eat In garbage cans and dumpsters too Each day trying to get through The brutal winter that’s ahead Praying she wont end up dead Leaving children to survive Without a mommy in their lives Because she could not afford To pay for any room or board Laid off from her part time job Life just started to get hard Curled up in a corner tight Hugging children through the night Fighting to stay nice and warm In their clothes all ripped and torn Looking up into the sky You can hear her start to cry As she says a silent prayer Someone will soon find them here And the other families who Are living like this daily too

This is a dreadful tale that can be seen in almost any city or town throughout the country. Very well written and thought provoking. Thanks, Robin, for sharing.... Robert..... Robert.

So tragic that people are actually living this way in our country today. Well done, Robin.
