ANGELS
UNAWARE
It was a rainy night in New Orleans:
At a bus station in the town.
I watched a young girl weeping,
As her luggage was taken down.
It seems she'd lost her ticket
Changing buses in the night.
She begged them not to leave her
there
With no sign of help in sight.
The bus driver had a face of stone
And his heart was surely the same.
Losing your ticket is like losing cash
money"
He said and left her in the rain.
Then an old Indian man stood
up
And blocked the driver's way.
He would not let him pass
Until he had his say.
"How can you leave that girl out
here?
Have you no God to fear?
You know she had a ticket.
You can''t just leave her here.
You can't put her out in a city
Where she doesn't have a friend.
You will meet your schedule.
But she may meet her end."
The driver showed no sign
That he'd heard or even cared.
About the young girl's
problemsOr how her travels
fared
So the old gentleman said,
"For her fare,I'll pay.
I'll give her a little money
To help her on her way."
He went and bought the ticket
And helped her to put her luggage
In the overhead luggage space.
"How can I repay,"she said,
"The kindness you've showed
tonight?
We are stangers who won't meet again.
A mere 'thank you ' doesn't seem
right."
He said," What goes around comes
around,
This I've learned with time
What you give,you aways get back~~
What you sow ,you reap in kind.
Always be helpful to others
And give what you can spare:
For being kind to strangers;
We help ANGELS UNAWARE."
I don't know who wrote this ,but the first
time I read it my eyes teared up. And everytime I
read it now,it fills my heart to know that I may
have helped an Angel by helping others less
fortunate than myself. Even if it is only a hug,an
encouraging word, a warm blanket or a dollar or
two,We can all help someone everyday if we just put
in the effort.
