Sharing Bread

26 Sep
I live under a willow tree in the park by the river. I know you've seen me.  I've seen you, and I waved
once but you looked the other way. I used to work at the grocery store on Grant, assistant manager; always just one paycheck away from poverty. Bad choices, bad luck, call it what you will, and here I am.
I know times are tough for a lot of people, but, I wonder, do you have an extra piece of
bread? Maybe an apple? I'd be grateful. Sure, I understand. Yes, next time.
That's right, under the willow by the river.
Thanks, anyway.
God bless.
