Dirt fills the scuffs in his boots of brown,
Not a trace of a lace to secure them around,
Weathered are the soles -
Two ragged empty holes.

Grime lays a pattern on his trousers of black,
Tied to his waist with rope from a sack,
Tears stain his all too pale skin,
His legs are weak, his body is thin.

An odor surrounds his heavy jacket of green,
Whiskers from his chin sit where a button has been,
His eyes carry lids of yellow and gray,
A diet of alcohol causes him to sway.

His face is dented by an age unknown,
Hair of dirty gray on his shoulder meets a seam unsown,
His heart through his eyes is warm and clean,
By realizing this I fulfilled his dream.

This was an excellent poem. I can remember when my son and I were homeless through no fault of our own. We running from my former husband who had tried to kill us. People look down on others when you don't have a home to go home too! And isn't that just the opposite of what it should be. When you see someone struggling, you should offer them a hand and not look unkindly toward them! If you don't have money in the USA you are considered a bum. And Jesus Christ came back...they would kill him all over again. He didn't have a place of residency either, or a dime in his pocket

Good write mate. It was very well thought out and written. I enjoyed it. Very sad though.
