He Keeps Walking :::

Folder: 
May 2007



Walking the streets, looking for a home

It has been seven months and still he roams

Looking for a welcome, hoping someone lets him in,

They see him as a danger

They don't know where he has been,

He is just a stranger



His days roll on forever

Each day a bit hotter than the last

Nights get more freezing, shivering cold

He wishes those nights could go by fast

Or that some stranger would let him stay

And be there for him to hold



He hasnt talked to someone he has cared about in almost a year

Since he lost his home and was forced to go all alone

Afraid he cant take many more nights like this

The cold breeze chap his lips,

and they turn blue

Yet he continues walking because that is all he knows how to do



In the heat he is parched and cant seem to quench his thirst

Feet in so much pain he fears he will collapse

But as always he keeps on walking

He keeps roaming the streets alone

Trying to find someone to help him

Someone to find him a home
