HE SITS IN THE PARK
The heat of Summer, deadly, hot, humidity,
What circumstances brought him here.
He battles the elements, seasons of four,
A meal this morning, fighting for more.
Rain or shine, through the Winter nights,
He seeks shelter, he sits in the park.
His life is lived day by day, no place to stay,
Under the stars is his view of the night.
On his own and what can this man call home,
Wherever he roams and stops is all he can claim.
He sits in the dark, he sits in the park,
At mornings light, beyond what is night.
He’s no less than what you see, who is he,
A man with no plan, living in this land.
Keith Garrett
