there are more homeless dogs than there are

homeless people on the streets.

but a bond is created when the two of them meet

they look out for each other and feel each others pains

and with this unique bond there is so much to gain.

a bond of friendship , a bond of trust between man

and man s best friend- it becomes something that never ends.

many live in hallways, alleyways , cardboard boxes too

because in a shelter they can't take their dogs

so what are they to do.

I have met some homeless who have more heart

than many people that I know

it's a shame when people who have are not willing to give

but a homeless person will show another how to live.

the little change that they make- they split a small cake.

I have met some who have gone into the woods and built a commune

pooled their money together so that they can eat

take a bath or wash their feet.

each one was designated a job to do, and they had to follow through.

one would maintain the campfire- while another one would

try to catch some fish to put on every ones dish.

paper cups and plates was their thing, so they

wouldn't have to wash anything.

the others would go out to the streets and find their

favorite corner , and everything would run in perfect order.

they would stop at a certain time and pick up what was on their list

that they could make over a campfire- this was their goal

this was their desire.

another would pick up something to drink

beer and wine was a treat.

of course not all homeless are as organized as these

many hide in the sticks and weeds , some will go to the shelters

and to the salvation army for food and a place to sleep when it

gets too cold on the streets.

LET'S NOT FORGET THEM !
