DAY 187 - Folks Without Homes

folks without homes
at the street corners
looking into my eyes

cardboard signs
asking me my role

light’s red
can’t drive away


my gut winces
got to feel
got to see

what is it that I want to go away?
the folks without homes?
or my feelings?

as long as there are folks without homes
you and I have the opportunity to lend a hand
or just drive by, as I often have

I wasn’t intentionally unresponsive
I just didn’t have a plan

part of my current plan is
http://liftupyourvoice.org ( lift up your voice )

my thanks
to those who didn’t let me
just drive by

KY - 4/8/11
