For Luke

Prayers for Luke / a homeless man who used to be on skid row / he and his wife only have each other / they were taxed daily / to live on skid row / forced to get money / however they could / not to eat / not for clothes / but to pay to live on the ground / or get beaten / his wife became a prostitute / then got pregnant / then brain cancer / my prayers for Luke / for all the Lukes / my prayers for us / for you and for me / may we know the privilege it is / to be home / fed / warm / in a time like now
