A Homeless Man Named Sam -Part 4

Cont. from Part 3

Three months now, no trace of Sam has ever been found to this very day
 I think he was an angel from above, I don’t know what else to say
 I hope he’s at home in Heaven with God and his beautiful wife
 I believe he was sent to teach me a lesson and to share with me his life
  
If you see someone in need don’t just walk on by, please don’t treat them so unfair
 When you pass them- stop - give them a smile, send them a heartfelt prayer
 Try to help someone else, the best that you possibly can
 Always try to remember... this isn't where their homeless life began
_______________________________________________________________
 
I felt very privileged to have met this kind man
 But so saddened by his heartfelt story
 Was he an angel sent from God?
 I don't know, I only know I met a very, special man...
     a man named Sam
 
___________________________________________________
                                    ***Dedicated to Sam***

We have entertained angels unaware. Maybe Sam was an angel. I believe good deeds and acts do not go unrewarded, the same as I believe in the flip side of this coin where doing evil returns to you also. Beautiful piece provides a lot of food for thought.

A lot can be learned from homeless people. While everyone else is trying to pretend who they are, The homeless are real. For they don't need a home... They're all angels.
