THE HAND THAT GIVES IT AWAY
As we walked she made it a point to give to people she would meet…
the needy, the panhandlers the downtrodden…
the homeless in the street.
“But you don’t know anything about them.”…I remarked one day as in front of one we paused…
“I only know there is a need she answered…I don’t need to know the cause…”
She said, “Sometimes people need a little help and, after all is said and done,
aren’t flowers and trees dependent on the generosity of the sun?”
“Besides helping them helps me as well.” She smiled as we continued on our way…
“Because every flower leaves a little of it’s fragrance…
on the hand that’s given it away.”
