A Beggar

Strolling down a dusty road at the end of day coming across a beggar fallen by the way His clothes were worn and tattered he looked very small somehow feeling his greatness once he had stood so tall With arms out stretched He beckoned me linger awhile stooping to wipe away a tear he began to smile As I arose in tones so low he softly said to me today I've found a friend I'll repay someday, you'll see As you travel through this life if you should ever fall I'll hear your voice and answer when you call.
