This morning my faith in humanity started to sink
Have I not paid enough for my own younger sins
Have I not loved and forgiven as any better man would
Should I forever be sorry for this pain I once caused
To see how I feel when my own past flashes up
Last night someone took a risk and a chance
Although on my drive in front of my window
My car was raided and they took money we'd left in the glove box
My heart began to race feeling like we must of paid our debt by now
Could I not be given a break for all I'm trying to give back
I don't charge as much as I should for my work
I always go over my allotted time and ask for no more
I give it all free if you meet me when I'm out and about
Why do I deserve to be treated like this from life
Pulling it all together finding all the things that could of been worse
At least the car is there and my new bass box
Put a bike in the back to do the first job of the day
Such a wonderful older couple I've been asked to help
We came to an arrangement for every day walks while her husband is recovering from knee surgery
I turn up still dealing with my morning stress
We have a little chat waiting for the dog to chill out
Get on with my ride and try to enjoy the sunshine
Get back to the customers house dogs tongue hanging out
As I go to leave the wonderful lady offers me extra
I try not to take but when I'm told very firmly "I insist, for all the help you're giving us."
My eyes start to water as I give her a hug, my faith was restored by one single act.
Again I apologise for thoses I have ever wronged, as I forgive those who wrong me.
In the moment of feeling such darkness inside, the universe showed me others still carry a light.
Now I sit knowing how much I love my life, hoping one day the lost souls that are running around at night will understand what truly living life is like.

Dan,
Reading this write made me feel sad about what happened last night! Then I read the words...
“my faith was restored by one single act.”
I am so happy your faith in humanity was restored by that one act of kindness! That’s all it takes...ONE ACT OF KINDNESS! You recognized that act of kindness of being genuine and unconditional! There are and will be many people who’ll realize and acknowledge your kind and unselfish heart! In that darkness that you feel at times, the light is always there for you!
Great choice of pic with a super message...
Live,
Be honest,
Love,
Play fair!
You are all of the above...and more!
~Laura~
It has been an eventful day, thank you always being perfectly you in the way you listen and give back. Thank you again
I hope your day went better than you had expected!😊
This read brought me to compassionate tears Dan - - your outlook after that awful happening is what learning forgiveness is all about -- and that wonderful phrase " my faith was restored by one single act" puts kindness where it belongs as our lift toward hoping that lost souls "will understand what truly living life is like" Love will win out with reminders that not all are in darkness as honesty and playing fair still mean much to the many dear friend..Thanks so much for sharing such challenges with us .
May your days become wonderful as you travel through your life.
A wonderful story poem that proves there are Devils and angels amongst us but let's live on and appreciate the Good Samaritans and mortal saviours in order to thank God for life. I liked the nice way you reflect and conclude positively. Kudos.
