what a touching story/poem. Life can sometimes have us so wrapped up, we cant see beyond ourselves. Thank God for people like the shoe shine boy. Thank you for sharing :)
I absolutly loved it! People should respect eachother more because its not just about them. Its about everyone. AMAZING job!
We get help from the least expected quarters. Its time to treat those people as equals, maybe they deserve more, cause they have a heart of Gold; and the others may be just.... Thanks for observing and enlightening us......
What a beautiful story! Just what I needed to brighten my day. Your shoe shine boy is not only the subject of your poem, he is a poem.10/10/ Love, Sandra
Nicely expressed a poetic story, how the shoe shine boy saved...
A very well told and interesting story in poetic form, Sandra. You conveyed a lot of the details and specifics of this unfortunate accident quite well. It was sad to see that life in India and our New York City have their similar aspects in that people are too much in a hurry to stop and aid an injured person. A very effective poem, Sandra. Carl.
The hand that keeps giving....wonderful written piece that explores a global situation.....expressed with depth and understanding 10++
Sandra...mans inhumanity to man richly displayed.. good write 10 regards Alf
It is only the starving who feed the hungry, It is only the pained who console the paining and strive to relieve them, It is only the poor and suffering who understand the suffering of the wayfarers since they feel they are one among the multitude as they are living in the open space under sky, ............very good theme and touching. Many a life we miss, he may even be a multi millionaire or an exceptional genius because of this trick of fate.
A very true to life poem, sadly it..s a common human quality to avoid such situations..Thanks to that little boy, a saving angel for that young man :) And thanks to you for sharing this poem. Best wishes. A.
