Rhymes of the Heart
Dropping Of Feathers
As I walked a busy street
Saw a homeless man standing there
Just turned my head an walked on
It wasn't my place to care!
But from the corner of my eye
Within my peripheral view
Saw an Angel drop a feather
What was I supposed to do!
I walked a little farther
Saw a trembling child in tears
That wasn't my concern!
The Angel again appears
I watched that feather float free
Drifting slowly to the ground
Tears fell upon his cheeks
But he never made a sound
I picked the feather up
Walked over where he stood
He looked at me and said
Deep inside there's still some good
Each time you turn your back
A feather then floats free
Now look upon my face
And tell me what you see
I was staring at myself
The meaning came so clear
If that last feather fell
All the good would disappear
Upon my knees I prayed to God
Forgive this sinner please
There'll be no more dropped feathers
To drift upon the breeze
