A Scruffy Man.

Goldfinch60



As we walked along the street, my wife and I,

We saw an elderly man come out of a shop;

He was struggling with his frame and his shopping.

A scruffy young man came towards him,

The sort of person you would never acknowledge.

He stopped by the man and said

“Can I help you sir?” “You seem to need help”.

The man looked at him and smiled.

The young man arranged the shopping

And the frame so they could be used in harmony.

“Thank you” said the elderly man

“That is my pleasure sir” said the young man

“Take care of yourself, bye”.

 

There are people in this world that care

Sometimes you are surprised who they are.

    Never judge a book by its cover. I too have been surprised by the incongruity of peoples looks and actions. A wonderful read Andy.

            In this world of turmoil there’s occasionally a beacon of light.

              So very true John, there are more beacons of light of which are are never told about.
