Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

The Gift

You saw me on the street today,
Your eyes met mine, I heard you pray.
You went on to the grocery store,
You purchased needs, and a bit more.

I saw you pick up things for me,
Gifts of soup and bottled tea.
You placed those items in your cart,
And I could see your loving heart.

Then you drove back, and in your eyes,
I saw me in your face.
You like the moon reflecting light,
You were reflecting grace.
Your light was from the Son,
And His love for everyone.

You said God bless, I said I will,
My blessing is upon you still.
Whatever you've done for the least of these,
In His name, you have done for me.

I have written a comment on your comment if you care to read it again. Sara Bj Legros Kelley September 25, 2020 at 2:23 PM Thank you for your encouragement to me. I'm glad you liked this poem. It was inspired by '...the King shall answer and say unto them, "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40 (KJV) Then too 'Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.' Hebrews 13:2 (KJV). <3
