An Unexpected Blessing From Beautiful Blue Eyes

--by BlueByrd47, posted Oct 4, 2009

I saw him sitting on the grass at my local strip mall. His hair was matted, his clothes were dirty, and he was talking but I don’t know who to because there was no one near him. People passed by but they didn't seem to see him and they didn't seem to care. The day was sunny and warm, perhaps they were all busy taking in the beauty in that the day had to give.

But I saw him. His name was David.

As I watched him, he moved my heart a little. I felt a little of his loneliness and isolation. I wanted to reach out to him, to make it a little better.

I went into the nearby grocery store and bought him a cold drink and a sandwich and got some extra cash from the ATM. I then drove back to where this lonely soul was resting, on the grass, parked the car and walked up to him. He was still alone in such a busy place, not a single person had stopped. Maybe he was there just for me. And what a beautiful blessing!

I smiled when I got close and said “Hello”. I put out my hand and touched his, I asked him his name. “David” he replied softly.

"Hi David, I’ve brought you some dinner and a little bit of money,” I said gently. “I want you to know that you are and will be in my prayers tonight so you take care of yourself now.” And before I left I added “has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful blue eyes?!" He looked up at and smiled then he took my hand in his and kissed it.

As I walked away with watery eyes, I turned back to see him staring at me and waving wildly.

David, a blessing that everyone just passed by, but I stopped and took it. I will always remember his incredible blue eyes.
