There are times that the Creator puts
Something or someone in your way
I had such a thing happen
To me at the VA yesterday,
She said she was lost and hungry
Someone had took her backpack
Her woes were insurmountable
Excuses and blame she did not lack,
I tried to give her encouragement
I even tried reason and sound advice
Finally my Creator said to listen
In my silence sound thought me nice,
Her attitude climbed, really spiked
When I started talking to a lady friend
My heart I knew that she was down
My caring and she came to depend,
Upon our departing the city bus
I gave her a copy of Spiritually Speaking
A smiled and she knew I cared
My poetry and wisdom she was seeking,
I absorbed the first ladies energy
It's corrosive hate and negativity
Meeting her was my Creator's way
Of allowing a thorn to enter me,
That thorn made me violently ill
No food or medication could stay down
I can no longer enter my world
Nay she can no longer stay around,
One day without realization a thorn
Will work it's way into your heart
Allow the Creators grace be sufficient
In time your thorn will come to part
As one day my thorn will come to part.
