the lonely (good) samaritan

walking
through
life with
nothing
but
wrinkles
on the
face &
bags
under the
eyes
to show
for it, s/he
wanders
with a
helpful
eye & an
altruistic
heart, with
whom no
one else
gives a bit
of care or
love to---
but s/he
sees fit
to go on
offering
up his/her
abilities to
anyone in
need, for
the sake
of the
fellow
humans
around
him/her &
without
him/her
certainly
the world
would
still turn,
without
him/her,
the rain
would
still fall,
but i’d
hate to
live in
such a
world,
having
never
known
him/her
at all.
