` No Name `

 Some people have no name,you know

 homeless they wander the street

they merely exist as a plain Jane or John Doe

 some barely have shoes on their feet

 

Once they may have known better times

 perhaps,having fortune and fame?

and one day they find it's all gone

 where once was pride, now lies only pain

 

Hopeless, without a prayer,

they stare aimlessly without a goal

 doubtful and full of despair

 no names, no life, no soul

 

 Alone, and feeling worthless

it's hard to believe where they're at

 Nomads ~ nonetheless without a place

 to hang their hats

 

 yes, it's all too depressing

 there is no song for them to sing

 just plain jane and john does

,no dressing no icing on their cake, no ice cream

 

How do they get to that place?

 it can surely happen to anyone

 to be a nobody, nowhere, noway

 no heavenly place in the sun

 

We're all living precariously, one step away from saying

"I am nobody" and becoming just the same

 God can zap it all away, anytime, anyday,

 and we too can be a no name!

Wow breathtaking best so far

[SM Davis]

This is fantastic. I wrote something similar to this a while back called They Smile Too... You have a fantastic way with puzzling words together and the fit is...perfect!
