Would You Shun Me?

I come to you, in tattered clothes
Unkempt hair, begging for a dime,
Would you be so nice, to lend some change
Make it worth my time?
I might smell of booze, smoking a cig
Acting like I need a fix,
But just a small handful of change
Keeps me from being sick.

Would you shun me, walking away
Just someone you can ignore?
You would be surprised, who I am
When I settle the score.
I remember those, who denied me
An offering to see me through,
So when I present myself, once again
Wonder what you will do?

I duck into an alley, change I did
No longer in disguise,
I find you, who denied me
And got a big surprise.
When I asked to borrow a dime
No problem when you pulled it out,
If you knew who I was previously
You'd think twice, no doubt.

I am but a messenger of God
An angel sent from above,
Though I may have been a bum
God tests your love.
So if you shunned me as a bum
You shunned God as well,
For He comes to us in many ways
Can you really tell?

Would you bow your head in shame
And feel you did deny?
Because you passed God up
Then ask yourself why?
Why did you deny Gods love
As a beggar when He came,
Did you fail the test He gave
Can you take the blame?

Very nice write, (((Robert)))!!

Beautiful poem - Who is it that sings the song that goes, " .........I believe there Angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above.........".....God sends His Son and Angels to us to see if we would treat ALL kinds of people as we would treat Him......"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..........".......

WE have to take care of each other, no matter WHO WE ARE - from the richest to the poorest - we are all God's children.......

That was great!!

A beautiful tribute to the choices we have in life
