you personalize homelessness with compassion and sensitivity, presenting its lonely and discarded sense of being ...

Homelessness is a situation in which no human being should live in at this era. Thank you for raising your voice loud enough.

Thanks again.

Very compassionately written Linda. Your heart is overflowing with love in these words. One needs to be very careful nowadays though, many of these people are not just poor unfortunates. Many are very dangerous. Blessings to you ...

Light and Wisdom ...

A worthy capture of real life for all too many among us, the "invisible" ones. Your images are what I think of all too often, as I cosy down between warm sheets at night, wondering how the homeless manage to survive. I like that you highlight the anonymous faces of the "ignorant" passers-by... so often it is THAT which is just so hurtful to them... the fact that we plain just "don't see them". Thank you for this touching write. Kate xx

I loved it Linda, and it's so sad, and so damn true.

Great!

Linda,

Always a treat reading your poetry my friend.

It should be read again and again
At lot of folks can't pay the rent
or house payment and wind up
homeless, of course the banks and
big corporations only care about
the money.

Dear Linda, I never grow tierd of your poems; you have a heart of gold, and I am honored to know you and to call you friend, love Holly

This is awesome write Linda and yes I agree the line between home and homeless is only a few paycheques, a few needles, a few too many trips to the casino, a few too many drinks or any other number of things. I have been very close to that line and I know that we can all slip pretty easily. Hope more people read this and see that.

hugs,

Very compeling write. I could not begin to think what it would be like to have to be homeless as these people are. Much less survive on the streets. And I hear people sometimes choose to live like this. That's even more beyound my comprehension. Lady J

Linda,

I remember this one, and no, I don't mind reading it: it should be shouted from the rooftops!!!!! We all are hanging on the ragged edge of homelessness: it just takes one small nudge to push us over. I know, been there. And what hurts the worst: our Veterans are swelling their ranks. Excellent, excellent write.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

We need to treat the homeless better than we do or at least do something to help. Very timely reminder, Linda; thanks for reposting this! Very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

More than worth the read Linda. Thank you for the reminder.

I hope many read this over and over again, Linda. And very sadly to me, many of America's forgotten homeless were once valiant soldiers fighting for this nation, and now, we very callously forget them, too.

Always is there someone that cares, not an anonymous face, the one that offers compassion and a smile.
Thank you for care.
Georg
