I told my kids we'd see it, this movie, they couldn't wait. <br />We finally saved the money so we started on our ''date''. <br /> <br />They were so very happy to be on there way to see <br />this show that they'd been saving for even more than me. <br /> <br />Standing by the corner, he came into our view. <br />He looked so very helpless that I knew what we should do. <br /> <br />I tried to just look past him, to keep my spirits bright. <br />But, then I looked in the rearview mirror and knew what would be right. <br /> <br />The kids were looking also, they got quiet and so still. <br />My son's eyes looked so heavy as they simply began to fill. <br /> <br />He said ''Who needs a movie? There's good stuff on t.v.'' <br />That's when I knew my kids would feel the pain of other's just like me. <br /> <br />As we gave this man the money, he looked me in the eye. <br />He blessed us all and watched us leave without saying goodbye. <br /> <br />His blessing was well worth it, I felt it in my soul. <br />I saw my kids' compassion shine and I've never felt so whole.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/3-will-work-for-food/
