[bodytext] => Two sad faces
Two empty tummy's I approached a man kneeling down to smile at his boy offering to shake my hand. "Whats your name?" i asked He replied.. "Tim" "Nice to meet you mate You can call me Jimmy" Dirt apon his face and hands flannel shirt with holes he wore pants two sizes too big for him all tattered and torn. Shoes worn out and hair a mess a toy truck clenched in his fist a bracelet made from wire wrapped around his wrist. "Let me shout you a meal" i said looking up at his father "Why help us?" his father asked "Why do you even bother?... Everyone around here is the same they mock us for what we must.. what we must do to keep alive, They look at us in disgust". "I understand" i said "But we are not all the same Im here to lend you a hand even if its just for today. I watched you's searching on cafe tables and through bins for scraps of food on left over plates for cans,bottles and tins. I thought the least i could do was offer you a drink maybe your boy would like a shake? For i know a place not far from here for such a beautiful boy... the finest chocolate-shake they make!" The man gave a smile and looked down at his little boy smile returned just over something simple Little Tim was filled with joy. That night i thought... What if that was a test? Sent down from up above To test me of my faith? To test me of my love? Don't hesitate to help one in need or get caught up in this world within all its greed,hate and lies for you never ever know.. who was sent down as an Angel in disguise.
