Homeless
Into each life some rain must fall
that’s all right if you have a home
I own no floor no roof nor wall
I find my shelter as I roam.
Of late I sleep beneath a tree
beside the trail and out of sight.
Its branches could not cover me
when the rain came down last night.
When you see me on the street
a beggar clad in shabby clothes
please toss a coin at my cold feet
before you turn and hold your nose.
