Angels Unaware
It was a rainy night in New Orleans
At a bus station in the town,
I watched a young girl weeping
As her baggage was taken down.
It seems she’d lost her ticket
Changing buses in the night.
She begged them not to leave her there
With no sign of help in sight.
The bus driver had a face of stone
And his heart was surely the same.
“Losing your ticket’s like losing cash money” he said,
And left her in the rain.
Then an old Indian man stood up
And blocked the driver’s way
And would not let him pass before
He said what he had to say.
“How can you leave that girl out there?
Have you no God to fear?
You know she had a ticket.
You can’t just leave her here.
You can’t put her out in a city
Where she doesn’t have a friend.
You will meet your schedule,
But she might meet her end.”
The driver showed no sign
That he’d heard or even cared
About the young girl’s problem
Or how her travels fared.
So the old gentleman said,
“For her fare I’ll pay.
I’ll give her a little money
To help her on her way.”
He went and bought the ticket
And helped her to her place
And helped her put her baggage
In the overhead luggage space.
“How can I repay,” she said,
“the kindness you’ve shown tonight?
We’re strangers who won’t meet again
A mere ‘ ‘thank you ‘ doesn’t seem right.”
He said, “What goes around comes around.
This I’ve learned with time -
What you give, you always get back;
What you sow, you reap in kind.
Always be helpful to others
And give what you can spare;
For by being kind to strangers,
“We help angels unaware.”

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

It is strange just how many websites the internet has on this topic I don’t know if I will need to come back, but it’s great to know I found the one that provides a lot of helpful information if this comes up for me again.
June 21st, 2010 - 5:19 pm
Hello thank you for your enquiry
i host with cpanel, but i do not think it has anything to do with my host, but i might be wrong. i think it is because i have not got any adverts on here and not a lot of images, the adverts slow it down because they have to retrieve them selves, i do not like looking at adverts all the time on other sites so i do not use them on any of my blogs. and the images are more kb than words. i try to keep them to a minium.
my template just uses a few plugins too. hope that helps.

I don’t leave a leave a response, however after browsing a lot of responses on Healing Through Self − Angel Poem. I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Is it only me or does it look like a few of these responses come across like they are written by brain dead individuals?
And, if you are posting at additional sites, I’d like to follow anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
