The Homeless Dying
Alone and Afraid
by Judy Joy Jones
May we all pray
for the homeless
dying alone and afraid
in the cold tonight
And may we
be shown
a way
to open our
hearts and arms
to the needs
of our brothers
and sisters
on the streets
It is only thru
our loving hands
that food shelter
and clothing
can provide
what they need
to stay alive
Our tender love
shared thru
blankets socks
and warm mittens
may be
the last memory
a homeless person has
May we all pray
for the homeless
dying alone and afraid
in the cold tonight

No one should be in such despair. Homelessness needs to be consigned to history.
