Homelessness affects more than we know
It affects all types
Men, women children
The young and the old
Some become bitter, angry and mad
Yelling at others or just not caring at all
While other do the best they can
Helping people while they strive to survive
Dunny times, good days, bad days
Homeless people are no different than us
No matter what we choose to see
They all have a story just like you and me
Why are we so busy
Why do we rush
Is getting somewhere
really better than helping a fellow man
Look at me
When you walk by
Yes I may be homeless but
that's no reason not to say Hi
Why must we always use cellphones for talking
And ignore others while we are walking
If someone speaks to you Look!
Don't act as if they are some kin of crook
So why not do a little more giving
Different as we may be
It shouldn't be that hard to see
That they are trying to make a way
To find a better day

Serving the people at DC Thrive was my favorite part because I was able to have some interaction with everyone that was there for a meal. It was a good feeling to be able to help feed so many and also just to smile at them and say hello, My favorite person wad a little old lady who was disabled. I went and gave her food and kept checking on her. She was so kind and appreciative of a friendly face that stopped to help.
When we passed out lunches at the park the older man at the park look as if he were about to cry all because we stopped and said Hi and noticed him.
