Oh for a bed for the homeless
It' s the place some haven't got
With prices gone sky high
Four walls and somewhere to lay your head
A pillow and a bed
-
To be woken with a cup of tea
Someone to chat over this and that
To cook in the kitchen and have a go
When washing they put through
And everything comes out all blue
-
Whatever goes wrong and you're together
It's a roof over your head
A hot meal , laughter and out of the weather

As the priest Fr Alan would say all
pick youself up
dust yourself down
and start all over again

-
Fthr. Alan has done over 23 years
Even had H.M.The Queen came to St.Patricks
And there's plaque,been put up on the wall
And won The Hero of The year 2oo5
Never stops from morning,noon and night
Make sure every one is all right.
Every one I've met and all he's helped and known
Think he should be Knighted by H.M.The Queen
Everything is done by prayer, and he says,
Pick yourself up,dust yourself down,and start all over again julie cavalcaderl

I think you have much improved this, Julie since your re-posted it. As I said before, Father Alan Sharpe, sounds a wonderful man and he must be very proud of this plaque. Equally, I think he would be just as proud of the fact that he inspired you to write such a meaningful poem. I particularly liked these linesL- "Whatever goes wrong and you're together It's a roof over your head A hot meal , laughter and out of the weather" Keep up the writing and well done;-) Tina
