Love Poem: Walk a Mile
Stephen Allen Avatar
Written by: Stephen Allen

Walk a Mile

Highway exit
Unshaven, un-showered
His dog, trusting as so many never did

Turn a blind eye and move on

Night falls
Surely there is a shelter
Someone else who cares

Judgment is cruel, justification 

Care, when others refuse
But for grace
Small acts change lives

Love is free

A kind word, if nothing else, costs nothing
Compassion in a world so cold
Be the one thing of value in someone's day

Save someone's life.
