I Was Homeless Christmas 2003!
It was cold and freezing in the city of Denver. A day in my life I will always remember. The sound of sirens wailing all around. The police had gathered near a body on the ground. A man with no home froze there during the night. It filled me with sadness to behold such a...

Verse 2 Sidewalk echoes silent prayers People pass but no one cares Cardboard kingdom borrowed time Every step is a mount- Mountain climbed. Chorus And the city turns away Like they...

We see but grey where once was green As bulldozers now scrape, Turning a joyful rural scene Into joyless landscape. The area was green-belt land With forest and pasture But as our numbers still expand We will invade nature. And so that farmland must give way To high profit housing. Farming that land has had its day. Let the plunder begin....

Without a Door
Footsteps fade where sidewalks end, stories told in weathered skin. Cardboard kingdoms, borrowed ground, a life unseen, without a sound. The city hums, its lights embrace, yet shadows slip between its grace. Hands once held, now pockets bare, eyes that search, but find no stare. The wind knows names the world forgets, whispers woven in regrets. A resting place beneath the sky— another night, still asking...

NO HOME I turn to you for help You turn your face away from me I turn to you in tears You act like you can't see. Can't you see me turn to you Can't you see my tears Can't you see my pleas for help To wash away these fears. I call to you in desperate plight You turn as if you...

Deep in the Shadows
Within the shadows of darkened lanes and alleys, There i dwell hidden from sight ,sounds and smell, Humankind knows me not walk away as if they are shot, My eyes see what goes on kicking a homeless man to death, Name calling those who dare to live as they want to, Just because differences seem...

Premium Member She's All Alone
She is all alone on the dirty streets downtown It’s starting to get cold as the sun is going down Will she have to spread her wings to make it through the night? Or sleep with one eye open and be prepared to fight? She was once somebody’s little girl; she used to laugh, she used to play Now she’s...

Reflecting...at the end of December 2009 I was homeless. However, in March of 2010 God intervened and provided me a safe roof over my head where I have resided for almost 15 years! He is a good and faithful God, who has never left me alone and I will never cease to give Him Glory,...
