Room 210 The second level, the cheapest room, staying longer than one night. Having nowhere else to go, and nowhere else to be, leaves little variance you see. Not enough to buy, more than food on the table, Not enough to buy new shoes for blistered feet. Not enough to buy, a jacket or a rag, to wear, that passers by will not stare. No transportation to get any place. No recognition of wanted, and-or needed space. A step away from homeless, A step away from there, holding on to empty air... as to do otherwise, was not to care.

Sadly I know a dozen people right now that may or may not have had dinner... my heart is broken and we need the Lord's return... Ty my friend for you kind words. I have missed your music held down by ink and consonant alone. Have the very nicest night. Ann

We need to find the extra... all around us... and share it as we can... taking care of each other... we use to do that all the time... we need to go back... Ty for your kind words... Blessings on your life. Ann
