A Day in the Life
By Aileen McPherson
Lives intertwined throughout time,
happy accidents make thoughtful
rhymes with design.
Hope is alive as we all strive,
making a living, on kindness depending.
Changes abound on streets around town,
faces look up to greet the day,
another day of work, another day of pay.
Winter weather daunts, rain and snow flaunt
Cold chills haunt, hands cold work bold,
Keep the heat while on the street,
Say “Hello” to all you see and all who go.
Throughout the year it’s the same my dears,
whether spring, summer, or fall,
You’ll see them standing tall
A paper and a zine for all.
Another Street Roots vendor has answered
the call and brings the news to all.
