homecoming
as the busy world passes by him
he sits and wonders why
how did his life go so far astray
once there was a family
he could call his own
now there's just a cardboard box
that he can call his home
i stumbled across him
while walking about one day
and sat and asked his story
as the tears fell from his cheeks
he lost his job he said
then he lost his home
he was so ashamed
that he never could go back
his family was better off
he thought without him then
he only hoped that they
would try to understand
he did it out of love
so they wouldn't be disgraced
