We walk alone

Catherine Conklin 1970 (newport oregon)



               We walk alone
Walking alone no where to go.
No one wants us here or there,
They say you can't stay here you gotta go.    Go where no one wants us here or there.
Walking the streets is all we have
Cold wind blowing against are back
Feet hurt begin to bleed can't sit and rest they come out yelling you can't sit there you gotta go.
Go where no one wants us here or there people stere with such hate in there eyes you look at them with a tear please can't I sit awhile.
No park bench to sleep they took them away. So I'm sorry my clothes are dirty and my be small bad sleeping on the ground because no one wants us here or there it doesn't cost anything to smile or say have a
Nice  day Or have a blessed night
You see god loves me the same as you
So god bless you one and all here and there
