I will never forget you
He approached me as I was reaching the office door
His clothes tattered and unkempt
My hand was digging in my bag
Searching for my keys
'Can you spare some change so I can buy
Some Biscuits and cheese for my dinner'
I looked at him
Instinctively about to say sorry and close the door
Then I caught myself
A tiny sliver of guilt niggled in my brain
He is hungry
No-one should be hungry
I pulled some money from my purse
And as he took it
He said to me
I will never forget you
You may forget me but I will remember you
His clothes tattered and unkempt
My hand was digging in my bag
Searching for my keys
'Can you spare some change so I can buy
Some Biscuits and cheese for my dinner'
I looked at him
Instinctively about to say sorry and close the door
Then I caught myself
A tiny sliver of guilt niggled in my brain
He is hungry
No-one should be hungry
I pulled some money from my purse
And as he took it
He said to me
I will never forget you
You may forget me but I will remember you

Thank you for reading, I try to help whenever I can but I think I sometimes get cynical and start saying no but if the person says they are hungry once I have cash it will be given. No one should have to beg for food and the cost to me was minimal.
Appreciate your comments as usual.
Thank you for reading. Thanks for the compliment but I must say I was about to say no but what he wanted to buy was something to eat and that hurt me most of all. Glad you liked it.
So I am told.
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you liked it.
I will never forget you
You may forget me but I will remember you
This is just so lovely, brings back my faith in human nature.
Those words had an impact.Thank for stopping by and your lovely comments.
You may be surprised that a lot of people do. Thanks for the compliment but I will remind you I too was about to say no then I stopped myself.
Thank you for your lovely comments and for stopping by.
Very best wishes
Bill
Thank you for your kind comments. I really didn't think of it in those terms. I knew I had to help but I am ashamed of my first instinct to say no.
Thanks for stopping by.
