[bodytext] => My friend had an appointment with a cancer doctor and this is true and actually happened and when he told me the story i wrote my thoughts on it. This same friend is now in ICU and will not live much longer, looking at this poem now I decided to post it. God Bless Fifty-Seven Cents Lost in the city, an appointment to make, No idea which road to take. I noticed a homeless man on the street, And walked up to him and started to speak. I asked for directions, as he looked my way And I’ll never forget what he had to say. He would point and say to turn left up there Follow that road and you’ll soon be there. He went on to describe the pain on the streets The sin and corruption we daily meet. How so many have chosen to walk without God The despair they feel as through life they trod. As he spoke I noticed a gleam in his eye And now thinking back I believe I know why. He chose to be homeless, to avoid the stress, His way of surviving, passing God’s test. In his world no crime, no hatred or pain, Not much to lose and so much to gain. With all this said and a smile exchanged He asked me then if I could spare some change. I dug in my pocket; he then thanked me as I Drove away looking back and waving goodbye. Shortly I knew his directions were fine, Thanks to him I had made it on time. The forks in life’s road that we all must choose, And the paths that we take we will win or lose. Now I can say it was money well spent, That lesson in life, cost “fifty seven cents.” Woody McDaniel November 23, 2003 Copyright [comments] => 2 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 16 [informant] => WoodyMc44 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FriendshipPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
