CAN YOU HELP?
When you see a man on the street,
Do you think about where he lives or what he eats?
He has no place to keep warm and no where to sleep.
Do you ever stop to help?
Or keep going and thinking about yourself.
Comparing his poor life to your wealth.
You should stop to show you care,
Because it could be YOU instead of HIM there.

Dear Diary,
Walking down the street one night,
I was startled by a terrible fright.
I saw a man lying on the street.
He looked hungry, depressed and
beat, by a system.
I think about him often, though I do not miss him.
I wonder where he came from. And wonder where he’s been.I stay up at night and think about what his life could have been.
Now I’m 3 years older and the
stranger has come and gone.
And still to this day I can’t help
but think, where his life went
wrong.
I wonder if God is punishing him
and what he did to deserve it,
and what I should do to change
my life so I don’t end up in the
same situation.
Though I’m only 15 years old
I live my life. I live it bold.
And every winter when it gets cold,
I think about that homeless man and do everything I can
to help a person who’s in need.
Like the lonely, misunderstood
homeless man.
Lying on the street.

empty handed
living in horror
everyone staring
shy and afraid.

A Wish
I wish I can give
houses to the homeless so they
can sleep and help their
self. I feel sorry about
them that they don’t have
anything their self. When
I saw them, I feel emonsh-
anly that I think I am with
them—and helping. But I
think I can’t do anything
now. But I hope I can
one day.

Superhero
I wish there was a super guy
to help the homeless.
He would be able to pick
up houses and find a place
to put them down in town.
The town would have a pool
and ramps to skate. It
would have a game room.
No parking lots, people would
be friendly.

I WISH I HAD A BOARD
I wish I had a board
If I had a board I’ll gave
It to some one
And the person would
Build a house.
