Homeless Poem by David Whalen

Peace on earth, mercy
Mild… give… to help feed, a
Homeless, hungry child

Snow so soft, winter’s
Just great! Unless one’s home is…
In a cardboard crate

Christmas…a place in
The heart…where many poor souls
Live too far apart

No coats…gloves or heat
No bed…Not enough to eat.
That’s Life on the street

Offer a hand up
To one who’s down, help to
Fill an empty cup

Tomorrow get up
and about… and help someone
Who is down and out
