From Cris Ericson:
Song for homeless people in Vermont with some free stock footage from pexels.com and my own footage at the end taken Feb. 6 while it snowed. SONG LYRICS "I never believed you would be sleeping on a park bench at night, but you lost your job and couldn't pay rent, and shelter beds were full that night. A ragged puppy begged you to hold him, shivering, snuggling tight till morning light. Other homeless people showed you to a day shelter, sandwiches were handed out, you gave your apple to a small girl. The world of the homeless in Vermont fell below zero, snow falling down so hard covered up your face. Forget your name, forget your face, forget the way we once embraced. When you die you go back where you came from, that's the only answer I know, from a vanishing point in the distance, to a place without time in the snow. CRIS ERICSON (C)(P) Feb. 25, 2025
