A Poor Man

I was homeless can knock houses' doors but i can't stay
I counted possibilities and tried my best everyday
To find a "house" with a ground where i can happily pray
But i know life & paper plans never work the same way
Things happen as meant, as may not and as may
But my paper was not to make life as a play
just used to write how many hours per day
Spent looking and working to get a place where to lay
No cheating, no lying, no stealing, no running away
Just reason, logic, faith and work day by day
& when it's the night?! i start counting stars and say:
" Shall i ever find it? shall i be able to pay?"
But although all that pain i close my eyes cause "hey! "
Even though i got no hope, somehow i know it's gonna be okay
