Temporary Shelter
It is such a comfy bed
that little nest on the floor
More than I have had
It includes a lock and door
Temporary Shelter
Feet cracked and soiled
Shoes old and worn
been walking this same pathway
since the day I was born
Temporary Shelter
They always smile
before we say goodbye
toting good intentions
making me gunshy
Temporary Shelter
From underneath the trees
my skylight was the moon
yet I kept on praying
we would get home soon
Temporary Shelter
Out of the bitter nest of emotions, comes the enigma of broken words.
