Love thy neighbor personified. A gentle yet powerful work telling of true down to earth beautiful charity. Very nicely done. Flow of read was also very good though one suggestion if I may. In the second quatrain the single syllable "cruel" you might consider amending to a multiple such as "disapproving". The flow of the verse would be enhanced. Just my opinion. Well done.

What a nice poem and sentiment. There is humanity and gratitude for the humanity shown here. We all need to hear the message you give and be reminded that no matter what our cirumstances, we are still all our brothers' keepers. Thank you for the reminder.

Wow. It's like the poem was written for the picture this time because the picture is truly gripping. In fact, I don't believe the poem would have been nearly as moving without the picture. Reading how someone is "down" and "homeless" doesn't quite do it with this picture. There is dignity and pride and honesty and a few other things I can't think of right now.

Excellent piece, my friend.

Your excellent poem reminds us all, yet again, that it costs nothing to show a bit of compassion towards those who are less fortunate than us. Well rhymed, your poem was a pleasure to read and review.
