I was just in a
store,
It was Costco I
believe,
Just getting some
staples,
And wanting to leave,
It was a long day,
With much on my mind,
My work had been
done,
I wanted to unwind,
Then I saw the two,
Walking side by side,
Together with age,
Standing with pride,
In their 90’s they
were,
In love to the hilt,
Hearts remaining
strong,
Though bodies did
wilt,
They went to check
out,
With just vegetables
and fruit,
Just some food to
survive,
To good health did
suit,
Yet not enough money,
The cashier did
report,
For the few things
they bought,
They were six dollars
short,
She was anxious in
line,
They were taken
aback,
Then the cashier did
say,
Which item to give
back,
When a lady came
forward,
To help them pull
through,
It was not much
needed,
And this fact she
knew,
She gave the six
dollars,
To their surprise,
With thanks from the
heart,
Seen deep in their
eyes,
Many did see this,
Along with myself,
And saw a true
picture,
Of what is real
wealth,
May they step
forward,
Next time there is
need,
May love win this
world,
Planted in many
hearts,
From this good seed.
