A homeless man, I always see
Sitting on a bench in front of a church by me
Every morning driving to work
He sits there and I wonder what he’s thinking about...
Today, on my way to work, another man joined him
Not sure if he was also homeless or not
As I was driving past this is what I saw...
Two men, sitting together, at least one homeless
The one guy put his hand on the other guys shoulder...
Since I’m not sure what words were exchanged this is what it looked like...
“It’s ok buddy, all will be ok, I am here for you in whatever you need”
A calming feeling and a tearjerker even though I couldn’t hear what was said...
This Is what the beautiful picture that was painted while we drove past.
Whatever words were said or even not said brought tears to my eyes
Comforting moment between two grown men as we drove by
Never once saw this guy beg or ask for money
Keeps to himself and makes the best of his days...
May we all find comfort, even in the less fortunate
And may be pray for healing for all those in need...
One simple touch, word or phrase can change a persons outlook and complete their day...
