Will Work For Comments

How many times have you seen someone Holding up one of those signs "Out of work, will work for food" I just can't count the times Sometimes, they're legitimate And you can really feel their need Then there's those who play our emotion Whose purpose is based on greed I don't mind helping someone Who's a little down on luck It makes me feel good inside To share a couple of bucks You never know what good you do When you're giving with your heart To help someone back on their feet Could mean a brand new start Now, that I have your attention There's something I need to ask Don't worry, it's nothing major It's really a simple task I'm somewhat of a starving poet With no major writing events No, I'm not asking for money "I'll work for your comments" I hope you don't take me seriously You know, I'm only kidding But to end this poem just like this I thought was only fitting

yep, those people with the signs, when i was working as a home health nurse and rode all up and down I75 I would see the same people working different exits on different days. I heard they made good money doing that. 300 dollars a day.

Giving is good for the soul, sharing for the heart, comments flow freely whether asked or not, but sweetly chosen words encourage the heart! Nice to read to read your work Larry, keep it coming! Jeralynn
