Scene at a Homeless Shelter by Susan Q TomasA lot of sleeping people.
2 men playing chess.
Weathered faces.
“Would you like some tea and honey?”
05/13/2011 Author's Note: I was at a homeless shelter in Denver the other day. It was through my church, and they offer job services, which is why I was there. It was interesting to say the least.

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 05/15/11 at 03:00 AM Susan, we have such tainted views about the homeless. It's sad. You've given such an unbiased view of what is such a huge epidemic. Excellent.
