Poem
The kindness of a stranger never ceases to astonish me Like angels from above who spread a special kind of love Seeking no reward for what to them simply comes naturally Pass them on the street ~ a kinder soul you’d never meet A deed may be a welcome smile for a damaged homeless man Whilst some would rather look away; repugnance is apparent The stranger stops to sit beside him showing that he cares Giving him the time to talk of things that he may want to share Evil came one dark cold night and stole one of his shoes The stranger asked his shoe size and discreetly left another pair Most days stopping if he’s passing, just to sit and have a chat To listen to his thoughts and dreams ~ they put the world to rights As winter weather worsens so the stranger worries for his plight Taking hot drinks to him daily, knitted hat to wear at night One cold dark morn before the dawn the man he sadly died The frost and cold had taken its toll and when the stranger heard he cried Sadly the man was all alone, no family no friends no one to shed tears But the stranger showed him love and care and took away his fears His soul now free he soars up high to watch the stranger going by And hopes one day to meet and thank God’s angel here on earth… Written 7th June 2020 Premier Contest 'Kindness' Sponsor Regina Riddle Contest Brian's Select 7 Sponsor Brian Strand HONORABLE MENTION
