DRIFTWOOD
He walked the street in his bare feet,
Browned by the sun,
Sanded smooth by the wind,
Weathered as driftwood
Cast out by the elements.
He walked alone
And humanity passed by
On the other side.

People do not often notice others in this way often they go unnoticed and they are easily and tragically forgotten, Always keep these people in mind and your heart will always have some warmth even on the coldest day! Visiting you warms my heart and I am sorry it hasn’t been more but I have been very busy these days. Peace be with you!

Love that piece of driftwood. It looks like an animal with front paw outstretched.
