She was

sitting on the curb across from my delivery spot.

She was

looking down at her feet,

covered in dirty socks.

Her clothes and other things were

stuffed into an old grocery store cart

parked next to her.

I made my drop off and

walked over to her.

“Do you need some help?” I

asked while

holding out a ten dollar bill.

“Yes,” she said,

smiling as she took my offering.

Looking at me, she said “God Bless You.”

I bowed and

walking back to the van, all I

wanted was a blessing from her.
