Show Me a Man Or Woman of Simple Mind

# show me a man or woman of simple mind
people who we commonly term as slow #

point out ====>
people 
of simple means<====

the poor, 
the sick, 
the hungry.

{direct me to someone of simple needs
a person with his ear to the ground.}

find me*
: a so called loser:
with a winning smile!

the kind you 
 -photograph-
then  
-file-

let me find a giving person of "warm heart"

a parent who loves their child (ren)

bring them forward 
~ the diseased ~
that never complain or cry'

gather 
the  people 
too kind 
to ask.

[the child] 
quietly 
lost inside

! round up !

the addicts, 
the homeless,
the ones who accept their stock in life
that never would even think to steal or lie
(huddled)
 like embryos happy to quietly die.

show me.......................families 
with................adjoining hearts
one for 
all and all 
for one 
in practice not just words.

people who give of their time to help the 
.......................................................................needy

who travel to third world countries 
~~~~~~make the ultimate sacrifice.

show me a person kind
a person of simple mind
i'll show you a person closer to God then you or i.
