May Day and the Day of May
When the homeless don’t have to worry
about the cold at night,
and the days get longer
as we wait on the first Day of May
for the summer to begin,
and our only worry is to beat the heat.
Oh but those Days of May
when life is all abloom
and the nights under the stars
are like cool breezes in your living room
with trees shading the moonlight-
Being homeless doesn’t feel so bad in those Days of May.
If only every day could be a May Day.
