Finding Grace


Every day I renew my pledge to make the most of my  life.
I see the world around me implode with forgiveness granted
 by divine light of our Creator. So little it take to help...
why do we ignore the Divine?
As I walk, I notice the woman with the baby in a sling on her back, 
washing car windows stopped at the light for tips. I wave as the traffic
 moves on. Her dog sits patiently, waiting for a doggie treat from 
a friendly car to nibble while it waits for home.
 Going into the park I watch the man covering his head
on the bench he moves news papers to make a comfy bed.
I wonder how cold it was last night and ask him if he noticed. 
He says he didn't as he goes down to the hotel to stand by the 
exhaust fan. Its warm there.
 Walking back up to Main Street Halifax, I stop to see the vagrant 
holding
 his empty Tim's cup.
I put my last dollar inside he laughs at me," That's quite enough", he says.
He shines back at my delight. Smiling to myself I hurry along
I make my way to the chapel in the trees there I promise to never judge
because in each one, myself I see.
