First he drove to Costco, Then prepped it all. I decided to help Stuffing Each bag. Asked if I could come along Afraid he would get mobbed, “40 brown bags aren’t enough Downtown Miami home’s many homeless”… …He was determined. We arrived, The poor came out of nowhere Everywhere, all colors, races… all hungry. One bag for each, Some asked for more. “Are you with someone?” “No but I’ll eat them both”. 40 brown bags vanished quickly, Not the poor. Many left empty handed Full of nothing We promised to come back, In the name of the Lord.
