Homeless

I am homeless
I am me
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see

I was somebody once, in another life

I love how the poet address aging …
“Where’d that little boy run off to
He took off sooner than I planned
Not only forgot to tell me
But left me holding this old man’s hand “.
Such a perfect description of the child you once were …. Where did they go ?!
