Poem
As I walked into the banquet hall of the Goodman’s Inn, the first thing that stood out to me were the eyes of the people. I felt as though I could actually see hope. Eyes seemed to sparkle and everyone in the hall sat talking to the others sitting around them as they waited for the main course of the evening. To understand this report we need to go back just over a year ago when Lindsey Long won the 50 million dollar lottery. Apparently the multimillionaire booked the Goodman’s Inn for December 24th through to January 2nd of this year solely to house the homeless over the Christmas holidays. Miss Long walked through the streets herself over the last week inviting the unfortunate homeless to come to the motel for these festivities. Lindsey Long has not only provided the rooms for this week, she also has clothed them with new wardrobes and warm winter clothing and accessories. Now as the people sat around the table they were told Miss Long had an announcement. We all waited to hear what this amazing lady had to say and excitement filled the room. When this beautiful young woman began to talk there wasn’t one dry eye in the building. She told them how she was not going to just send them back on the street next week but how she had built a new centre that would have sleeping facilities and showers to accommodate all of them. This new facility will be serving three meals a day which will be prepared solely from themselves on a voluntary bases. The feeling in the Inn that night was pure joy and as the people realized the impact of this wonderful news, they all broke out singing It Came Upon a Midnight Clear. This is Rhonda Reeds reporting for The Good Newspaper. Merry Christmas everyone. Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 11.12.2014 Sponsor Mystic Rose The Good Newspaper 1st
