“Homeless-Single Mom”

Posted on September 4, 2019 by Leonas Lines

Cardboard sign, “Homeless. Single Mom. Anything helps”

Sitting on concrete,

Her only firm foundation.

Thin white hands held

A small cardboard rectangle,

Instead of two little girls.

    I wondered if that was the case. There are far too many homeless people in this world.
