The Someones---Angels On This Earth

"The Someones....Angels On This Earth" I once saw a man offer to take a homeless man into a restaurant and get him something to eat other than "discarded" food! (That day he ate quite well!) I once saw someone offer to pay for a woman's groceries because she was very short of money! (She cried the real tears of JOY!) I once saw someone give a man some shoes and socks to cover his bare feet in the winter! (A warm heart gesture to warm someone's feet!) I once saw someone give a woman a coat so she would stop digging in the dumpster trying to put papers on herself to stay warm! (Another warm heart gesture!) { The Someones.....Those Are Angels On This Earth!} I once saw someone come to the aid of a woman being mistreated by her boyfriend! (The boyfriend...an "unk" with a "p"!) I once saw someone stop to help a man who was pushing his own car trying to get it out of traffic! (He was really relieved) I once saw someone help an elderly woman with a walker get across the street after the light had changed! (She afterwards held his hand in both of her hands!) I once saw someone run to direct the traffic after an accident! (He was pretty good at it!) {The Someones.....Those Are Angels On This Earth!} I once saw someone save and give a child "CPR" who was underwater too long in a pool! (The child survived!) I once saw someone stand up to a bully who was "much" larger than his intended victim! ( The bully backed down quickly!) I once saw someone giving solace to a woman who had just lost her husband by just sitting quietly with her! (The quietness spoke in thunderous volume!) I once saw someone give a vet who was in a wheelchair a "high five" and make his day! (He didn't know him!) {The Someones.....Those Are Angels On This Earth!} I once saw someone tell a child that they could be anything they wanted to be if they just believed in themselves! (There should be more of that!) I once saw someone catch a purse snatcher, "throttle" him, and return the purse to the woman it was taken from! (Justice on the spot!) I once saw someone carry two children out of a house on fire to safety! (I know this....I was one of them!) I once saw someone tell someone that they were loved!....And they smiled! {The Someones.....Those Are Angels On This Earth!} WTA-IV 3/15/2016
