Thank you for your time
May 21, 2012
I was sitting down on the street
leaning my back against a brick building
My bare feet against the cold stone floor
Blanket wrapped around my body
I was holding a hat out to people walking by
asking for spare change,
Saying "God bless you sir/ma'am!"
Every time some spared just even a penny,
But sometimes people would degrade me
Would spit at me and say
"Get a job, you bum!"
But when they were sincere and had no money to spare,
I simply say" Thank you for your time "
