I have to ask my heart

When I choke on my tears

His Parent’s where are they

In shame he holds tight

The only friend he has in this world

Worn out and tired

They both sleep

They have no home

I ask God

If he will take hold of this being

Give him strength

Take him and his friend

Out of this destiny

Give them a ray of hope

Shelter from the storm

Show them there are people

Like me who truly care

I will wait here until they awaken

To offer them both a home, a meal

In exchange for kindness and respect

They deserve nothing less

Than Shelter
