Roof Over Head

Take My Hand

There was a homeless guy on the square, all smiles with his hands out and when you gave him change he was bless you and thank you and you would feel good.

One day I walked out of Walgreens and there he was with a newspaper. I reached in and gave him some change and he said “thank you brother” and gave me a news paper. I said no thanks and he said. “No you take I no read”

I asked him where he was from and he said Cuba. He has been living here for 15 years on the street.

We talked and the guy was pretty cool.

Then one cold week I did not see him.

He appeared and with a HUGE grin he said “I HAVE JOB”. He was so happy, “I put roof over head, keep warm” he said with a huge toothless grin.

I felt good.

I still see him at times as he works only until noon, I still give him change and he still thanks and smiles. He says “I love America God bless you, someday I go see my family in Cuba”.

Just thought I would tell someone!

Cheers
