Changing Points of View
In life,
we tend to take things
for granted
far too often
the food on your table
the blankets on your bed
the clothes in your closet
the heat warming your house
such simple things;
we use them on the daily
yet, they always seem to be taken for granted
not everyone is like this
not everyone can afford these things
not everyone can say they’re financially stable
no, not everyone.
A homeless shelter;
it doesn’t offer the best food or clothes
it doesn’t offer the comfiest bed
but, it’s a home to many.
Whether temporary
Or long run:
it’s somebody’s
home.
Here, you’ll find the most grateful people.
There is sorrow and sadness inside
but it is often hidden
by their smile on the outside
Yes, they’re battling
but aren’t we all?
“This is just a tough stage in life”
one resident says
But seeing how genuinely happy
Someone can get
Over just one slice of pizza
Can really make your day
