I started writing this "Poem" at 5:26 pm. I don't know what I should write about or why I should write it or what I intend to achieve out of it but I feel as if I should share it. I have had a rough week, I'm sure a lot of us have. I was walking back from the store and a I saw an elderly man on the sidewalk shooing away some birds and he didn't look to happy but then he fell down. Naturally I walked over to help him up and when I did, his expression changed from cold and mean to bright and happy. I felt something today in that moment that I've never experienced before. It was surreal like something out of a film or book, time literally felt like it  stopped And in the same time it continued almost like it didn't happen but I know it did. After that he said thank you and I said your welcome and started to walk away with this overwhelming feeling of just happiness. I felt something urging me to turn around some slight feeling, tingles on the back of my neck. So I did and the man was gone. I don't know what happened to me today. But I encourage everyone to please help out anyone you can whether it be as small as doing a slight favor for a friend or something that costs you something like giving a stranger 5 dollars for a bus ticket. The feeling you get out of helping someone can't be bought with money. Thank you
