We appreciate you, and your generosity, we continue to accept financial contributions, you can also donate everyday items that are used to meet the personal care needs of our guests.
We, at Haywood Pathways Center, have seen lives transformed—through prayer, support of staff and volunteers and access to resources for life skills and job searches. We believe, with your help, we have a chance to make a difference for those living in poverty in Haywood County.
Each day passes as another before with heartache and pain like it’s a reward.
No matter where I go or who I see there’s this reflection looking back at me.
It speaks harsh words loud and clear I’m never going to live without this fear.
People pass by me and I can see through their eyes.
Numbness, coldness and Ice.
This man is a waste and why should they care, because I’m such a stare.
There’s nights I lay under the stars pretending my breath is heaven;
Gazing through afar wonder as I can see the stars;
Am I part of his big plan?
I pray and ask God to hear my prayer and sometimes I wonder do you care?
I know this life isn’t what you hoped -because this life so hard to cope.
I know I will wake again tomorrow only to have this day borrowed.
I don’t know Lord if I can make it tomorrow.
My heart and soul cry out to you – with hopes I’ll have one more chance.
A chance to love, be loved, and true. I’ll give it all to you.
Until then “These Shoes will keep on walking”
