Whitney 2 - Daddy 1933

Whitney 2 - Daddy 1933

Daddy was
a homeless tramp
weary of
the lonesome trail.
Laying down
an ageless bag
his eyes closed on golden fields.

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 9/5/2017 12:40:00 PM A very touching poem, Janis. My heart goes out to the homeless. This heart wrenching poem brought tears to my soul, but this is nevertheless a beautiful poem. Love and more love to you and yours. Login to Reply Janis Medders Tobechi Date: 9/11/2017 5:45:00 PM Freddie, I always deeply appreciate your comments. You know the homeless have been with us for many years. They seemed to go away for a while and now there are probably more than in the Depression of the 30's. Thanks and blessings, Janis.
