A Korean WAR [[[HOMEless]]] VETERAN MAN

A KOREAN WAR
[[[HOMEless]]]
WAR
VETERAN
MAN

PRAYING
For
HIM
My every
Breath and HEART
BEAT
Every
Moment
Since I
MET HIM
Now
I
AM

For this GENTLE
GREAT
Korean WAR
HEROIC--VETERAN


Now HOMEless
And
Very
D
O
W
N
On his LUCK
Is very
Frail
Sick
And
Weak
To speak and
STAND


So at the
San Bernardino
GreyHOUND
BUS Station
 where we
MET


No help or respect
Was he going to
GET


So I saw him
STRUGGLING
 with his
Baggage
And was
having
a
HARD
and
DIFFICULT
Time
BREATHING
And
STANDING
 and
WAS
WHEEZING


So I
 GOT
OUT
OF
The
LINE
And
to the
very
FRONT
HIM
I did
Help and
BRING


Not any
PERSON
Dared to
SAY
A single
WORD to
HIM
Or
ME


As this
KOREAN
WAR
VETERAN
HEROIC--MAN
Who
FOUGHT
in
WAR
 for
AMERICA
To PROTECT
 and DEFEND
DESERVED
Every
FRONT
Of the
LINE
PRIVILEGE
With
Great
RESPECT
And
UnWAIVERING
DIGNITY

As I was
at HIS
SIDE

Through the
BUS
RIDE


I  LISTENED
to HIS
UNFORTUNATE
sad STORY
Without
Any HEROIC
GLORY


As I
Showed him
All of the
DIGNITY
And
RESPECT
From
ME


Two other
GentleMEN
Who also were
VETERANS
Came to offer
Him
Encouragement
And
SUPPORT
And
RESPECT

And I could see
That HE
Appreciated
It so much
WITHOUT
The same old
Same old
Shame of being
HOMELESS
And all
Alone
 on his
OWN
With
Deep
REGRET

But what I'm
MOST
PROUD
of
is
this
YOUNG
girl
On
the
BUS
A Teenager
Traveling
with her
Older
SISTER
Of HER
Kind Hearted
Respectfulness
Generosity
And
GENTLENESS

As she brought
This
KOREAN
WAR
HEROIC
HOMEless
VETERAN
A simple Bottle of
Water
And said so
Sweetly
And
Lovingly
To him


GOD BLESS
YOU
SIR


And his
HEART
GLOWED
With
The Biggest
Loving
SMILE
Ear to Ear
At
BEST



Do your
BEST
To
Show kind
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Hearted-NESS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

To ANOTHER
DOWN
very
SAD
and
LOW
At your
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{BEST}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
