His Face Lit Up ….[ A True Story; Bri's Little Bit Of ‘charity'; Needy? ] Comments

Thanks to Readers, past, present, and future. : )

Even though you don't believe in God, He still believes in you, and will reward you for your good deeds.

I think the man in your poem is extremely poor. He might be in his lowest lows; jobless and homeless. Wonderful poem, Bri. You have depicted brilliantly and vividly a poverty stricken man and a thief.

I am always proud of those who can put themselves in the shoes of others and feel the way people feel. Bless your heart, Bri.

One of the greatest virtues of a man is empathy. I am always

Bri, I wonder how many times each day there is a person who enters a store and has no ability to pay. Some perhaps look, and some perhaps claim something just to stay alive. There's a lot of thought....and heart in this verse.

that at least someone cared a bit.I went back. He was coming out again from the store, well finishing of a true story poem, I'll keep it in my list

Such a touching story! I remember having posted a poem of this sort....similar in many ways but lacking the lighthearted vein with which you have dealt the topic. I know you are kind at heart! Probably that man must have been in acute poverty and his entrails must have been growling! I agree with Loke's suggestion so discreetly put by him! Love your spirit here Bri! A sure 10

Nice to know that there is some compassion in you For this kind act, there will be good karma accrued For once a week you must skip a night swilling beer Then you can give him four bucks and double his cheer Ho! Ho! Ho! Thanks Bri

but I'm sure, lifestyle-wise, the gap was great....... true guessing........... your poem depicts so vividly

And when I left the store, there he sat, leaning against the store.Think of that! ............................ well, you could better call him to you office / home to set in a work (sometimes seeing needy I think so

that he needs to steal to just survive? I guess I'd do the same to stay alive! , .. greatly written these two lines, but you could not do that the needy did, I am sure, ................. but as a poet your mind wants to copy emotionally, ............

From behind, I saw him steal food and drink. His face was light brown; mine's more pink., ....... fear made him nervous and pale and so you might be an artist to draw / describe his face so vividly, .............

Finish it soon. The theme is inviting. Poems don't go away too easily.It's still hanging around in your head like your man!

Great poem, Bri! I think you must finish it. Shows that you notice people and have compassion. Not easy to know thè best way to deal with such situations. I'm wondering if your wife would be willing to give him a job weeding, or something...?

A fantastic narrative of your experience with a thief? Cleverly penned.10

Needy people are still living around us, your poem is on such a person, ........ well penned from recent and practical but sad experience, thanks for sharing this excellent rhymic poem with us, ++++++ 10
