Hey I can see you on the ground for I am not blind.
You beg for ninety five cents for food to find.
Everyone walks past you like your a disease.
But really all you ever say is please.
You've never been mad when someone said no.
And you've always smiled when your called a dirty hobo.
How do you never let things get to you?
When everyday on Facebook I'm hurt by things untrue.
Henry, do you even realize your a homeless man?
When all you can do is beg with a can?
Do you realize how bad your life is?
Do you know most people wouldn't be able to stand a day like this?
Henry, how can you smile so much?
Have you and god been in touch?
Henry, I know what you've been through.
While everyone judges you without a clue.
All I had to do was ask.
And you told me your life and removed your mask.
I'm glad that I could see through into your heart.
And if you cant leave the pavement at least your street smart.
