Homeless

As I pulled off the highway,
with these tear filled eyes,
and came up to the stop light,
I saw a man there holding a sign.

It said “Someone please help,
homeless and hungry",
and my heart sent my hand
strait for my wallet.

I pulled out some money,
so he could have a meal,
I’ve been that low before,
and know just how it feels,

to lose everything,
and be left all alone,
standing by the side of the road,
without a home. 

So, I said excuse me sir,
here something for you,
I know it's not much,
but it's all I can do.

He said it's greatly appreciated,
for I can see in your eyes,
you have some problems of your own,
that would make you cry.

The light turned green
and I pulled away,
and I couldn't help but look
into the mirror.

And when I saw him standing there,
an image flashed through my mind,
that I could make up my own little sign,

and stand on the side of the road,
where she left my heart,
with my little sign, praying from afar.

But I don’t know how my sign would read,
I just don’t know what it would say,

but, I love her and need her, and she’s gone away,
someone please help bring her
back home to me to stay,
for I'm homeless without her love.
