PONDER

I passed a homeless man today,
And stopped to ponder..........
What befell this poor soul?
What tragedy his life…
….What providence mine?
So truly blessed…
…………...me.

I dropped a coin into his cup
And turned to walk away……
… tripping over the curb as I went.

“Watch your step, little lady.”
I looked back to meet his smile..
… and a twinkle in his eye.

Yes...

Watch your step, little lady.
...Lest you trip over your pride.
…...Lest you think you know God.
…..…Lest you think yourself better
…………. than another...
…of His precious creations.
