What a beautiful home
Look at our car
We have a beautiful backyard
What happened to our beautiful home
Where is our car
What happened to my beautiful garden my backyard
Look at our furniture all put in front of our beautiful home
That ugly trailer waiting for all of our belongings
Where will they go
Where will we go
We have no home
We have no car
Why did you have to get sick
Why could you stay working
No one will help us why
God what are we to do
We are homeless
Remember when
we said
look at them
why are they not working
why do they not have a home
We are sorry we made fun of them
Now we are them
Obama Can you Help Us?

You posted some beautiful pics too.
Thank you so much!
It does make you think...that how can we do this? That could be us!!
postman of Autumn
I hope he will do a lot of things for the American People!
I just REALLY hope people remember such messages after the holidays.
People have it rough all year around, you know?
Hope your post gets a lot of hits!!
Get the message out!
At least there is a trailer to move into, hu?
Maybe people will think !!! and have more compassion!!!!
Yeah but those trailers are cold lol
Well better then on the streets hu?
Or in a tent....
Thank you , I thought about this for a long time !! I was not sure how I wanted to make a point. To make people think they are not safe from being homeless that they could be that one they made fun of.
Happy Holiday's to You and Yours!
Thank you for commenting
and A Happy Holidays to you too!! :D
God helps us when we are in need!! We forget that the homeless are God s children too.
You almost posted a photo of our last house, that we had to short-sell with everything we owned, just to get back here, which isn't any better, but we're in two rooms/apartment, and have a roof over our heads.

Gather Writing Essentials, Monday, FEATURED!
Thank you !! This house is actually our home while is was being built
Yup sure could !! When you look out and see people living on the streets you wonder that could be me someday . Then you thank God that you are where you are!
You are very right!! It is very scary out there!!
Its right to the point , it is wow! Who is next??
Thank you so much !! I almost did not write it but Marilyn twisted my arm!!
; )
I have trashed pick for years.
Decoreted my home and apartment several times that way
and still would if I had a home of my own.
You made being homeless sound like it could happen to me or you - which of course is true - but we hardly ever really believe it...
It is a hard thing to go through!!!
What makes me mad , is people saying well they lived well beyond their means. Which is not true for a lot of people , if you lose your job because of down sizing or illness that is not living beyond means . That s just plain dumb luck
I am glad my family had a place for us to stay .
I will pray for all May God keep His Mighty hands upon you all.
