The sun set today just as it did
yesterday
And just as I am sure it will set
tomorrow
When the sun rose this morning
I was on my morning walk and I stopped
To talk with a white bearded old man
Who was combing his beard like it
still
Mattered how his beard looked and he
Told me the story how his social
security
Check only covered food and he chose
To live out of a locker rather then
pay rent
In this town which he can’t afford the
rent
And still eat but he was ok with that
because
That’s just the way it is and I think
of
The Gospel of Thomas were Jesus says
The Kingdom Of God
But people just don’t see it and I
realized
That the same morning sun
Warming him to comb his beard
Is the same sun that sent me on my
walk
And it is the same evening sun that
would set
On me in my warm bed and this gentle
Old man in an alley where he feels safe
