A Personal Encounter

A lesson in those early words
after the spirit descended on them
not a sermon or words to teach
his eyes meeting his
The beggar by the temple gate
ignored by others that day
The disciples meeting his gaze
offering words of love and grace

We are to be like those who have gone before
serving our fellow man
giving them hope and comfort
through our works
offering them a helping hand
Meeting their eyes, their yearning hearts
with the gifts the master shared
his love, his grace enough to bring
healing to a troubled world
hope for each woman, each man
