HOMELESS

It's so hard to walk past you

And know I can't help more

Than some coins in your hand

As I walk through the door

Coins that will no doubt

Become a coffee to keep you warm

As you huddle on the sidewalk

No shelter from harm

I don't know what brought you here

Was it some kind of mistake?

A breakup, a bankruptcy

Something too hard to take?

We're not so different, you and I

I am still homeless only in disguise
