Prompt ~ SOFA SURFING
SOFA SURFING
by John Yeo
Sofa surfing isn’t connected to exploring the internet,
It’s a step away from a night on a cold stone pavement,
A friendly gesture that will always be hard to forget.
~
A circle of good friends will always be a valuable asset
When homelessness begins to make a slow descent
Sofa surfing isn’t connected to exploring the internet.
~
A harsh alternative to hope can be a powerful threat
Life’s troubles and despair arrive without relent
A friendly gesture will always be hard to forget.
~
To help a friend in need is something never to regret
Just an even break will help towards a hard ascent
Sofa surfing isn’t connected to exploring the internet.
~
A friendly sofa can go forward and adjust the mindset
Bringing hope of an end to the need to beg for consent
A friendly gesture will always be hard to forget.
~
Friendship and help bring hope for a life to reset
The slide into homelessness can be hard to prevent,
Sofa surfing isn’t connected to exploring the internet
A friendly gesture will always be hard to forget.
