The homeless man

by Joel Howard

The homeless man

he is my brother

The silent air

it is my friend

The beggar

he looks just like me

The sinner

knows my name again

I am not one step

from perfection

Not about to be

in control

Far from building

a fortress to heaven

Far from obtaining

heaven's key

I ponder now

my imperfections

Silent, know

my deeds, my will

Far from who

I am in God's mind

Perfection

My identity
