November’s pale light is fading fast. Chill winds penetrate my threadbare clothes. I’m not too sure how long I’ll last; How bonetired I am, only God knows.   My belly’s achin’ for lack of a meal My muscles are quickly losing power. Oh, what a miracle it would be To feel the warmth of a hot shower.   Just as my feet falter and stumble I see the light beckoning ahead. A Franciscan dwelling ever so humble; God’s helpers giving us our daily bread.
