    Poem Commentary

    This poem was inspired by the homeless people that inhabit our world.  I greatly admire their courage and ability to persevere.

    Please Look at Me As You Pass By

     Please look at me as you pass by,
    I'm one of you, I laugh, I cry.

    A  wave, a smile won't cost you much,
    My soul will feel your loving touch.

    I, too once led a fruitful life,
    Had family, love, and bitter strife.

    I took all of God's gifts for granted,
    In a moment It all ended.

    Now I am homeless and alone,
    While you hurry to get home.

    Remember as you pass me by,
    "There but for the grace of God go I."

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
