I have been writing since high school, only recently to share my work with others. I am self-employed and also work in the nursing home industry as a maintenance man. Giving something back to the community that supported me in business has it's rewards. For the past few years, I have been sharing my writings with others. I have written two books: "Chance" and "Sam I Am." Writing takes me away from the stress and reality of everyday life. I am proud to be associated with The National Library of Poetry. My hobbies are fishing and writing. |
Homeless SoulsThey walk along our streets and roads,these souls without a name. We call them bums and hobos, no thought from where they came. We shy away when they come near, we shun them one and all. But yet when Gabriel blows his horn, they too will hear the call. Some were men of wealth and fame who fell along the way. Some were men of broken hearts, and some just went astray. A woman sits among the trash and rocks from side to side, and dreams about the days gone by when she was someone's bride. We live behind our little walls and never stop to ponder, but for the grace of God it could be us out yonder. So go ahead and shun them, pretend they don't exist. Keep your head up in the clouds, your mind amongst the mist. And when the ship of life sets sail for God's celestial shores, you'll be the ones out in the cold, knocking on their doors. |
