The Man On the Street

What if you saw a man on the street lonely and hungry, no shoes on his feet. Walking alone, no friend by his side with no-one to turn to, talk or confide. Would you offer your friendship, consider his plight or simply ignore him, avoiding his sight. Would you throw him a smile, a wave or a nod or merely ignore him, muttering to God. Now ask your self this, what if you were that man struggling along as best as you can. With nowhere to turn to and no-one to love seeking some guidance from way up above. Would you hold out your hand and pray for a gift or look for a smile to give you a lift. Would you stop and look around for someone to meet I ask what if you, were the man on the street.
