Today I met someone

previously unknown.

Visiting from Alabama,

Texas not their home.

The chances of this meeting

were unbelievably rare

and I have to think that this greeting

was based on a prayer.

For the people I met

had nothing to offer.

But in motion it set

thought food for my daughter.

Happenstance meetings like this don’t occur,

unless someone up there who was gifted with myrrh,

has plans for a life until now undisturbed.

Now I know something about someone who

needs prayer, love and healing to help them cut through

the lies, hurt and pain narrating their negative view.
