Someone In Need
Sitting on a Park Bench i saw a man alone,
i could not help but notice ,i am sure he had no home,
with tattered cloths and shoes that did not fit,
saying to myself come on get a grip,
you can not help them all,as i turned to leave,
the old man looked at me and said if you would just believe,
that one hand helps another,but you will never know,
how much this means to me,if you decide to go,
his eyes were like no others,and as he touched my hand,
a brightness shined before me,this was a holy man,
with tears and much conviction,i turned to walk away,
my life was changed forever,because i heard him say,
i need no help from you,but there is much to gain,
if you can give a little,to ease anothers pain,
there was no greater joy that day,and how i learned for me,
if i will take the time,to help someone in need.
