Poem
She saw him as she was driving by
She noticed an air of desolation about the guy
Huddled in his overcoat, his face was blue with cold
Stooped and unshaven, walking slowly as if quite old

She stopped the car abruptly, no time to think things out
On an impulse, she gave the man a shout
He was laden down with baggage, everything he had
He was carrying with him, he looked sad

She said "How can I help you? you look a little lost"
He said "Could you please give me a ride
I have not got the cost
Of a ticket for bus fare or for food to eat

I am in Adelaide to look for work
I've been tramping around the streets
I need a wash and shave 
And to find a place to sleep"

As he was getting in her car
She was suddenly gripped with fear
Was this a foolish gesture to help this stranger here
He seemed to look much younger

As he settled in the seat
He was amazed at her kindness
And his good luck that they should meet
He glanced at the driver sideways

Out of the corner of his eye
She'd taken quite a risk
To pick up this poor guy
He said aloud "Don't worry I won't harm you in any way

I understand the chance you took
Giving me this lift today"
She said "It's my pleasure I have saved a few bob
You see, I've worked hard all my life

I've been lucky to have a job
Go to a mans' shelter and have a rest
Here's $50 to help you out
I wish you all the best"

He turned to face the woman, his eyes were very bright
"I can't accept the money it doesn't feel quite right"
"Please accept this little gift that's what life is all about
It's a poor existence if we can't help each other out"

He stared at her astonished 
As if she was an angel from above
"Would you mind if I kissed you?"
He said, feeling something akin to love

For this kindly compassionate woman
Whom he had only just met
And although they may never meet again
He knew he would never forget
