The Lowly Paths

Walking down the lowly paths
A man in a fur coat locks eyes with a child
In the head of the child she pictures him dining
Not walking down the lowly paths of her abode
The orphan with glistening eyes bows her head low
The man in the fur coat looks away and continues
He pities her…embarrassed…

Uncharitable hearts tear the world apart, failing to realize what they could give eachother. Powerful vision Laura. J.A.B.
