Among strangers
In line together
Mumbling
Grumbling
Shuffling feet in weariness
I stood behind you
As you spoke
A breath of fresh air
Uplifted
Awakened
My senses, because your words changed
The whole atmosphere.
Words full of
Positivity,
Thankfulness,
Permeated
And turned strangers into
Lively comrades
Triple Shadorma
I hope you enjoyed my first Triple Shadorma poem that was inspired by encountering this little leaf.
I dedicate this poem to all the elderly people who are now in nursing homes or care centers living out their lives perhaps in loneliness, hopelessness, or feeling no one cares. This little leaf I saw today reminded me of them.
This leaf reminded me to stop in the middle of my busy life to think of ways to reach out and care for others.
I am glad I am a part of a ministry (Expressions of Miriam Ministries) that volunteers to go into these homes to visit with the people there and perhaps uplift and encourage them in some way by bringing the joy of life and the love of God into their waning lives.
