Stunned by a Gesture

 	      A breeze came my way
                 on a hot, sultry day

              Declining to stay
                 on its way it was going

              When stunned by a gesture
                 it returned... resumed blowing 

              For I had kneeled down to beg
                 amputated both legs… 

              Is there meaning in our most desperate acts?
                 Whatever you think, those are the facts

Stay firm in Truth -- it is what we take with us. God has new bodies for us. Blessings my friend.
