He Remembered. The little child tugged at his shreaded shirt The man's roughened face emotionless The child's mother felt angry at her tot The man had been on the bench since sunset The child tugged at him once again The man turned slightly obviously in pain Of years without a home for comfort The child's mother became concerned For the stare in the man's face was strained The child touched the man's heart With a most joyous, and beautiful smile The old man remembered that he too could smile And in the man's face the mother could see Memories flooding back as tears flowed freely. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Noah, Thank you. Often I wonder why so many people hurt so much, it is such a shame that they have to live such miserable lives. The time has come for action to deal with this issue and not put it in the too hard basket. People need love and a home, not hatred and homelessness. Your words were wonderful.
