A CHILD OF GOD
A HOMELESS MAN, AT A STOP LIGHT, GOING CAR, TO CAR:
LOOKING AT HIM, SO WEATHERED AND WORN, I SEE HIS BARE FEET AND SEE CLEARLY HE IS HOMELESS, ALONE , AND CANT WALK VERY FAR:
IM WATCHING HIM FROM A CAR MOVING IN TRAFFIC VERY SLOWLY FROM A FAR:
THE LIGHT TURNS YELLOW, GREEN AND RED, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, IN BUSY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WE ARE ADVANCING TOWARDS HIM IN OUR CAR:
SOON WE WILL BE BESIDES HIM, WITH HIS MAKE SHIFT CARDBOARD SIGN:
WE ARE MOVING CLOSER AND CLOSER UP THE LINE:
I CAN SEE THE SHAME ON HIS FACE:
AD HE HUMBLY STANDS HUNCHED OVER, REACHING OUT FOR HELP ME IF YOU CAN, AND THE SIGN READS, BLESS YOU MAN, I DONT KNOW HOW HE ENDED UP IN THIS PLACE, BESIDES THE BUST INTERSECTION WITH A SIGN, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE RAT RACE:
AS WE SLOWLY APPROACH:
I FIND A FEW DOLLARS IN MY PURSE OF COACH:
WHEN A FEW DOLLARS I PUT IN HIS HAND:
OUR EYES MEET, AND HIS ROUGH BROKEN SMILE TOUCHES ME AS HIS EYES MEET MINE, AND LOOKING IN MY EYES HE POLITELY SAYS , THANK YOU AND BLESS YOU MAM:
MANY CARS WHEN PARALEL TO WHERE HE DID STAND:
THEY LOOKED AWAY, AND COULDNT LOOK HIM IN THE EYES, THEY JUST NERVOUSLY GAZED AT THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC MAN:
SO TO MYSELF, I KNOW I DID MY BEST:I KNOW MY HEART PASSED THE TEST:
I AT LEAST REACHED OUT WITH, WHATEVER I HAD, I DID MY BEST:
NOW WHEN IM HERE AT HOME:
IM PRAYING FOR THAT HOMELESS MAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COLD NIGHT ALL ALONE:
THE HOMELESS FOLKS, WOMAN AND MAN:
WE CANT JUDGE THEM , WE DONT KNOW THERE LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES, OR THERE DEMISE, OR DEMAND:
REACH OUT WITH YOUR HEART AT LEAST AND THINK OF THEM IN YOUR PRAYER:
THINK OF THEM ALONE AND BEGGING OUT IN THE OPEN STREET ALL ALONE OUT THERE:
THINK OF THE REJECTION THAT THEY MUST FEEL:
WATCHING SO MANY FOLKS RUSHING OFF TO WORK DRIVING BUSILY BEHIND THE WHEEL:
MANY FOLKS JUST TRY TO PRETEND:
THEY ARE JUST TOO BUSY IN THERE OWN HECTIC, BUSY IMPORTANT LIFE, AND THEY ARE WORKING SO HARD, IN THERE BUSY LIFE, WITH NO TIME FOR A HAND OUT TO HELP A STRANGER ALONE ON THE STREET TO LEND:
PRAY FOR THE HOMELESS WOMAN OR MAN AT LEAST:
WHAT LITTLE YOU HAVE, EVEN LOOSE PENNIES AND CHANGE,OR EVEN A SIMPLE APPLE CAN BECOME THERE GREAT BLESSING AND FEAST:
THAT HOMELESS WOMAN OR MAN COULD BE JESUS IN DISQUISE:
LISTEN TO THE LOVE IN HIS VOICE WHEN HE SAID, THANK YOU, AND LOVINGLY, LOOKED INTO YOUR EYES:
DO YOU EXPECT JESUS TO BE IN A THREE PIECE SUIT, WELL GROOMED, AND STANDING TALL ON THE CORNER:
JESUS WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS, WE KNOW HIS LOVE AND PRESENCE,IS HERE AND THERE EVERYWHERE FOR ABSOLUTE SURE:
AS YOU PASS BY, AND IF YOU LOOK AWAY, WITH DISGUST , WITH JUDGE MENTAL DISMAY:
THINK TO YOURSELF, IN ALL YOUR BLESSING AND WEALTH--WHAT WOULD JESUS DO AND SAY, THEN ASK FOR GODS FORGIVENESS, AND DO YOUR BEST TO HELP ANYONE IN NEED, THE NEXT DAY IN ANYWAY:
DO THE BEST THAT YOU CAN:
STOP AND HELP THOSE HURTING, DOWN ON THERE LUCK, AND HOMELESS MAN:
