Poem Title:
Poem
It was a homeless old man near a shoe store who fell asleep He was so tired that nap turned to a sleep that was deep A little boy walked passed with his mother and noticed that the old man had one shoe He felt sad, “mother it’s something I just got to do!” That little boy face was full of tears His little heart grew big because he cared He grabbed both of his mother’s hand and tightly grasped them leading her into prayer After the short and quick prayer, “Mom I was just told to share.” He had ten dollars from his allowances that he saved for weeks His mother didn’t know what to say, she couldn’t even speak Immediately he rushed in the shoe store and asked the clerk how much was that one black wing tip shoe The clerk had a big smile and said it was thirty-two Every customer and fellow employee gave money to make the little boy prayer come true Instead of thirty-two dollars he now had sixty four He quickly grabbed the shoe box and ran out the door The little boy shook the old man out of his sleep and gave him the box When the old man woke up his eyes was full of tears and he was shocked Big crocodile tears rolled down his face He grabbed the little boy and gave him the tightest embrace The old man yelled, “This is the best gift yet!” Some say the old man got up and danced until the sun set Mark 12:30-31 (NIV) Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
