I Begged For You

I sit on this park bench rain pouring down, people hurrying by, with umbrellas up going to and from the shops in town, sitting here with my dog, I'm holding a cup a little girl watched by her protective mother approached me with her small hand clasped into my cup she drops a coin then another She looks at me and smiles, happy? she asked, with a tear in my eye, due to her compassion, I'm cold, wet, hungry, smelly, no, not happy then looking into my cup with anticipation what I saw didn't disappoint, I'm a lucky chappie, not a coin but a locket with an amazing picture a picture of my late wife, she was my soul mate, I looked up, I had a feeling of being much richer the girl and her mother were going through the gate I felt at peace, warm, dry, clean and content, next to me wasn't my dog but my beautiful wife then I came to realise this wonderful event, we were together again in heaven to start a new life. 11/29/2016
