I SEE YOU

 

        I see you in a world where you are invisible, Please know that I see you. I understand that you are another person who is trying to survive another day. Just as we all are. You may not own much, but you have hope, you have hope that people will give you spare change out of pure generosity. You still believe in the goodness of humanity and people, which is more than I can say for most of us. The rest of us walk with our heads down, rushing from one place to another, trying to block out all the bad in the world, while forgetting that as we do, we also block out the good.

          I walk fast in a hurry, but I think about you as I do, I think about as I put money into the transit box instead of walking, I think about you as I scramble for a change, for an overpriced coffee, and I think about you as I get into the bed at night wishing my bed was more comfortable. People may scoff and think they are better than you but they are wrong because you are among the wisest people. I do not even know you, and yet, you have taught me the most valuable lessons. Because of you, I always appreciate what I have, and give when I can to those who have less. 

"BECAUSE OF YOU, I REALISED THAT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN MONEY AND CLOTHES."
