A Corner

  I don't recall his name, from 3 years ago, on tht cloudy day.

 

He was old, scratchy with tattered clothes; black with a dash of grey.

 

The human form of sunshine, I think i'll call his ray.

 

He didn't mind his limping leg

 

Nor the fact that he couldn't walk; maybe if he had a cane.

 

But he minded  that I didn't smile or bother to tell him my name.

 

On that day I gave food to those of need.

 

Plenty of brown bagged goodies.

 

None for him, he said; free of any greed.

 

He waved, laughed and danced.

 

Saw beauty in every little thing.

 

He said no one had 'no' purpose.

 

He was a good man, beyond his rough surface.

 

Hopefully no longer in that corner-

 

-where he stayed.
