Praying for moments Donating to his gods He offered his words And the small amount of money Placed For learning A language He doesn't want And a culture He is making his own For a family That has moved And needs him Smiling Although He can not understand Worshiping a private idea He honours His thoughts Although he thinks He honours His ideals And he honours himself In his ideals And his thoughts |

I'm getting two different messages in this, Dave. I don't know...either I need some clarification, or I need some clarification. ...Because I'm really seeing this from a very personal angle [my own...] and one of the shoes fit...and the other is very tight. |

I spent monday to thursday for the last few weeks in a Thai Restaurant where they accepted me as someone who could sit around until the earliest hours of the morning if I wanted to, and even sleep on the couch of the recieving room. A young guy is there, his mother and sister have made the move but he is lonely, lost and wants to be back home. I watched him pray by their religious areas and then put money into a jar. When he had gone I placed money into that jar to try and help his prayer be answered. His words he would speak in his language but he feels it wrong to speak them and has no way out Dave |
