Poem
Matthew 7:12 King James Version Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. I saw her on the street and my heart skipped a beat She was haggard and worn and I could have sworn Her light had dimmed to the point of blinking out I saw him by the road, holding a makeshift sign That read, “will work for a dollar or two” Allow me to do something to earn a good meal I saw her begging for a coin or two, enough to feed The family that must have waited at home for her And I gave her a bill that spoke of love and truth I saw him on the way home from work today He was tired and lonely and didn’t know what to say When I handed him a bag full of groceries and toiletries I saw her waiting by the river as I passed across the bridge And there was something in her heart that smiled again Left me feeling reassured that I’d been a true friend to Him I saw him as I left my job today and he looked happier A kindness fell around him, glowing like a beam of hope And I knew that God was in his life in a way that blessed him I saw them as I struggled to listen to the sound of joy Caressing a soul and breathing love into an open heart Who knows that it is always God who inspired a giving thought
