The Sign


Clothes tattered and shoes worn
His expression that of forlorn
Face unshaven, hair a mess
His story would take no guess

Exposed to the weather
His skin like leather
Rain or shine
He is there all the time

A bare patch  worn in the grass
Eye to eye contact as people pass
No words are ever exchanged
With each season, he remains unchanged

Struggling each day to survive
His sign read "Family of Five"
By the world, this is viewed
"Will Work For Food"
