Some people live in cardboard boxes  
others between buildings 
Certain individuals beneath a tent 
others under bridges, or close to dumpster bins 
Palpitating life on the street, 
you never know who your going to meet 
It can be lonely and  cold out there,  
some people's houses are made of brick and some of air 
Some old folks wear pajamas at night and own heat  
others huddle in layered used clothing, shivering from cold 
under garbage bags and dirty things; 
I for one thank God every day for the roof over my head 
No greater comfort, then owning a front door with a lock
and a furnace that works ;
A mattress with blankets, pillows that smell nice 
Thank you God for all of that .

Dear Mystic Rose, thank you for reminding us of those who suffer. Your poem made my heart ache. We should all be thankful for a house to come home to.

The homeless man sleeping on wet cardboard is just as thankful for what he has!

I am sure he is Rico, we measure your contentment by the quality of the heart to be grateful not of how much we own, thanks for the visit

So true. We waste money and never care for the needy. Hugs.
