The Shelter Today

The Shelter Today

 

Thank you for my life today

It’s so better now

I no longer live half-crazed

And I have a home somehow

 

You rescued me from my hunger

Providing food for body and soul

And when life nearly pulled me under

You tossed to me your rope

 

I am better these days

With no alcohol or drugs

And I’m an old timer they say

With newcomers that I love

 

I dream good dreams these days

In a bed that’s all mine

And I open my window shades

Each morning for the light

 

I often visit the homeless shelter

And my brothers and their needs

And I try to be their helper

Like those that helped me
