Last night was the pool comp, I don't play as a rule: it's a social night for me, and, I don't care if I look like a fool.
I thought it wise to catch the train *in case I sink a few!
Now as I walked from the station I met someone I never knew...
Standing near the stairs, handing out flyers, was a simple young man, wearing a smile: he said,
"Jesus loves you."
I said,
"I know"
Well, his face lights up!
And quick as a flash, said, "God bless you."
I said,
"Thank you"
And that was that, off to the pub to shoot the crap!
Won my first game (and with it a schooner), had a few more (should have left sooner)
Anyway it was a good night, but the blessing on the step was my highlight...
"And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better."
His eyes were soft;
I could read his face:
The simpleton:
Full of love, and grace.
Six words, without delay: on the night; into the day...
The less is blessed by the greater: the greater is not on display.
Entertaining angels?
I couldn't say.
