Hope For Home
  The wind blows through the air
  my shelter gives me care
  what if there was no place to linger
  lonely without a place to be
  missing home
  how shameful it would be
  to lose it all
  all things of value to me
  as I go along
  there's no place to start again
  Only if I had that place
  and person nice and sweet
  who would give it to me
  and I wish some time
  to be able to
  help someone else
  whose hope is less
  oh the joy it would bring them
  and then I would linger in my home
  with many others
  without a place to roam
  and some time they will help others
  than homelessness will not grow
  and this kindness
  will surround the world
  although this might take some time
  its better than dirt and grime.
