Painting of Mother Teresa by Judy Joy Jnes



'Going Beyond Homelessness'


These words are

dedicated to our

brothers and sisters 

across the globe 

to whom economy 

is a word never heard


their lives are spent

silently in pursuit

of the very things

we take for granted

food shelter clothing

and medical care


may we all join 

hearts and hands

ushering in the day

when homelessness

is history


and every man 

woman and child

has food shelter

clothing and

medical care

restoring their

human dignity


going beyond

homelessness

will come to pass

and our nation 

will be remembered

as a great nation

because we

cared for

those amongst us

unable to care

for themselves
