PEANUTS!!!

Hey all...

Thought of writin a poem, a rhyme for my first post.. but instead... something else popped up... an experience, an emotion.. a life....
Rejuvenated..

They were sweet
They were simple
They were calm
They were real

Mrs A had cancer in her lung... unable to eat, unable to sleep well, coughin throughout... didnt get treated for a long time...didnt have th resources... her husband had almost given up...
On his wife.. his life...

I saw them that day.. as they came for their regular treatment... those eager eyes.. searchin for some one.. who could listen to them... share what they had to say... hear them out.. feel for them...

It was all in there.. bottled up... causing suffocation....

He was sad, devastated... felt so much for her... couldnt bear the pain...

They were humble... In pain...
Everything to lose...Nothing to gain..

They got it out... finally... it gave peace... it gave strength.. it gave life.... a reason... to restore... to
seek... to be at peace....

I finally felt life...
A stab with a knife...
It hurt.. it wasnt fair...
Cannot revert.. causing despair...

But life got a chance..
Got a second glance...
It finally felt good... it finally felt real..
With arms open it stood.. with nothing to conceal...

They came everyday... finally a smile on their face...
Like they got their blessing ray... all His amazing grace...

They wanted to show gratitude... they did so in kind....
They gave me peanuts...that's all they could find...
They couldnt afford more... they'd already touched my heart's core...

And oh grace!
They gave an alltogether different meaning to
PEANUTS!!!
