Heartwarming and heartbreaking chronicle of the homeless man, Janet...this poem is so much more than the value of a dollar...you've described the impoverished to a tee...I can picture the character you describe as The Beggar...this is truly full cookie jar compassion...be well.

Love,
Sage

Rheumy eyes, lank hair,

When I lived in NYC it was common to see the homeless. Not so much here in Phoenix. It still upsets me very much. Thanks for sharing this very important poem.

GOD BLESS YOU

It's good of you to do that. I would have done the same. I give two dollars now. I used to give more.
