Sheltering against freezing cold
Huddled under cardboard in shop doorway
Teeth chattering, praying for the dawn.
Penniless, homeless, hungry and thirsty
Wondering when to eat again
Hear kind words, given money for food.
Left home when life became too much
With pressures overwhelming
Pride preventing return home
Rain falls and midnight hour chimes
In misery thinking of friends and family
Weeping for those loved and left behind.
