"There but for the grace of God go I". I am not better than the man who mows the lawn in your poem. I don't believe I've earned, I'm entitled or do I deserve the good fortune I've had during my life. "Bad things do happen to good people". And we are less if we don't do something to help. A very sincere message.

Sadly, there are so many homeless people living on our streets. Since it is a bitter, cold day today, I worry about them. There is much being done in our community for them, but still.....
I enjoy your style of writing and the compassion in this well written poem.
Well done.
Blessings

You made tears come to my eyes as I thought of this homeless person mowing the lawn and wondered if the homeless person someone this writer found and gave something worthwhile to do for companionship, or is it the husband of the one getting their lawn mowed. I felt it is the first explanation, but either way, it is so moving with the choice of stanza continuation on the first and second then a complete stanza for the last one. Thank you for sharing this.

I love your simplistic style of writing and this poem about compassion for an old man is no exception. This is a very good character study. A very enjoyable read. Best wishes Jen.

We should all have compassion for those who are hungry, homeless or lonely and reach out, if only to show we care. It takes so little and means so much. Thank you for reminding us with this well written poem.

Compassion is a very big gift to behold. Not many realize that to give a little and be humbled by what you give not proud is part of compassion. We see the homeless everyday and ignore their plight. I liked the poem.
