A fine write Patricia describing what, at least in part, it must be like to be homeless. Very sad. Well done.
A beautiful poem describing the helpless condition of the destitute. It tells Pat that how much you are compassionate to them. I like one line in their voice saying... 'so just come whatever may'..... STILL SOME HOPE OF RAY.... lovely.
