Question:

How Does the repetition of Would you reach out to me? add meaning to this poem?

I Am Homeless

I came here because my house burned down last night

We lost everything

We had nowhere else to go

I am so scared and don't know where to go from here

Would you reach out to me?

I am homeless

I am here because my boyfriend beat me so bad

I was afraid for my life and for my children

If you could see my battered body and broken spirit

Would you reach out to me?

I am homeless

I am here because my husband passed away

And I could no longer pay all the bills

I tried so hard, and could not do it alone

I have five children with me

We are scared

Would you reach out to me?

I am homeless

I am here because I lost everything in a divorce

My wife, my kids, my home

I was broken financially trying to fight to keep them

I am trying to put my life back together and I am scared and alone

Would you reach out to me?

I am homeless.

I am here because I ran away from home

I couldn't take my father's abuse anymore

I have no hope left

I am scared

Would you reach out to me?

I am homeless.

I need to see God's love right now

I feel so alone and scared

Would you please pray for me?

I am homeless
