Paul has a whimsical smile and for a homeless person… Paul has style……if you ask him why he’s homeless I’ve heard his reply….” Got tired of chasing rainbows and I fell from the sky “…… Losing his wife……to cancer….whom he adored….be quit his job…. sold his house and took up drinking and anything else that…

Funny where I have been and what I have seen…… I have dined in a palace and ate beans from a tree…. Rode on a camel’s back and had an elephant hug and kiss me….. I have had luxury suites and slept in the mud….. and wouldn’t trade where I am for all the money…
