Colorful Life

when you see a man
bent and worn with age
give him your hand
you know not what he has suffered
where he has been
who he loved, lost
give him a smile to show you care
is that too much to ask
show compassion 
give him your time 
lend an ear to his story
fire he feels still
you may gain knowledge
experience is a wonderful gift
to share with others
happy times sad times
remember
broken crayons still color
