The Homeless are Saints

 by Judy Joy Jones



the homeless

living an dying

on our streets

as we walk by 

pretending not to see

as they eat

out of garbage cans

an die alone 

in cold dark nites


the homeless are the

nameless saints

who were created 

to do great things

like you and I


an they need food shelter

and medical care

as we all do

to survive


the homeless are saints

having to watch

as we walk by

not caring 

if they live 

to see the morning lite


the homeless are saints
