Poem Title:
Poem
She walked around this earth with a jar filled with love Dipping into its commodities when she saw someone in need of a smile, encouragement, understanding and compassion Her jar was always running over bringing others satisfaction Oneday while on a daily routine she saw a tattered old man Sleeping on a bench, in his right hand he had an aluminum can She dipped into her jar and pulled out a mysterious note She had held it for quit sometime a poem she had long ago wrote She parked her car around the way It was a cold and rainy November day Then walked up quietly to this sleeping guy and suddenly formed tears in her sensitive eyes She took the poem from out of her jar Put it inside his portable bar Then quickly tip towed away Hoping to God he would read what it had to say The poem was a love letter to anyone That had given up on life and had completely shunned the world out because of many horrible trails The poem was written to encourage someone and inspire It was signed with just a smile and a phone number too A nearby church and rehab center who Took men in for absolutly free helped them to discover who they were really meant to be, A week later this girl drove that same way There was no sign of this man she so often saw on that bench during the day A month later, on a Sunday morning she could not believe her eyes She was in church and to her surprise The same old man that had been dirty, drunk and out of social reach Stood in front of this giant congregation and made a beautiful speech All bright, clean and with tears in his eyes He told a story about an angel who stopped him from suicide He said there had to be a God for he woke to take his last sip And in his “jar” of beer he found a poem and decided to read it And now he had been sober for thirty days He found his two lost sons and he just wanted to give God praise This girl and her "jar" never said a word She just sat in her chair as her soul sang like a bird So never be afraid to carry goodness in your life jars For you never know when you may be a persons saving star!!!
