He had a dream, a dream, a dream.

That we could all be equal.

We are all the same.

From the side of the road, a mission, a home.

Young to old.

Old to young.

From battle cries to sad sighs.

Beds to benches for a night.

Houses to boxes underneath the sky.

Some gave something and received almost nothing.

Others too young to know.

Friends and family gone.

Strangers with a ride.

Trying to get to a place.

A place of care.

Strangers from everywhere come.

Joined by caring people.

Kind people.

Respectful people.

People willing to help.

Together for a special day.

A day of thanks and people willing to give.

Thanksgiving.
