we never know what tomorrow will bring




There is this homeless man
Moving around Salt Lake City
Pushing his trolley sleeping any place
When night brings him there

He has been around for ages
Leaving on crumbs or goodwill of others
The sight of him moving his trolley
All his belongings put in plastic bags

Yesterday he got something else
Maybe he thought his world will be here
Living amongst the cardboard boxes
Sometimes in abandoned cars

A private investigator tracked him down
For the last two months searching for him
When the investigator finally found the homeless man
He told the man his good fortune in life

The homeless man's late brother
He wrote his will giving him a substantial amount
Now the man doesn't have to live like a homeless guy
He has the funds to find him a good home and luxury of life

Currently he is in shock
He couldn't believe in luck has changed
Years on the homeless ground
Now he has something to live through
