Raymond Lessons 4 - Have Lots of Homes

Lessons from Raymond, the homeless man Who helped prepare me for the road.To view previous lessons, find my playlist entitled: Raymond Lessons.Lesson 4: Have lots of homesRaymond says, “The guy at the thrift store says I can sleep under his awning.And many people in this town have said That I can sleep on their porch.I am the homeless guy Who everybody knows.”And I think, what a mercy in the rainTo have a porch that you can sleep on.But Raymond spreads it around.He doesn’t stay too long.And that seems right.My home, too, is on the road.And because I forsake a homeI will find many friends, many homes. But none too much, too long.A day here, Two days there, maybe a week,And then move on.And what do I offer as payment, Except myself, a word, a conversation,And a prayer for those who help me along the road.
