Eating Twinkies with God

Eating Twinkies With God Eating Twinkies with God The little boy walked into the park the sun was shining very bright he saw a lady old and frail the sun reflected on her hair Who is this lady, the little boy thought with her hair so full of light With two Twinkies in his bag and a coke in his hand he walked to the bench and offered her one she accepted it gladly but no word came from her except a bright smile and after a while she had eaten, he shared his coke and no word came from her except for that smile then she held onto her cane , rose up and left The child hurried home and said to his mom I went to the park and had Twinkies with God but she was very old, now isn't that odd? his mom looked at him and said God touched your heart and you did something nice you saw God through her face now here's my advice when you grow up and I am old just think of the lady in the park The old lady came home and entered her house she hung up her cane and said to her spouse I went to the park and had Twinkies with God but he was just a child, now isn't that odd? © Ralph Sergi Copyright © Ralph Sergi | Year Posted 2013 I wanted to repost this for my Uncle Ralph Sergi who passed March 30 2025 it was one of my favorites of his I hope you enjoy it.
