i always feed the strays

they may die tonight

self destructed inside

frozen from the cold

wasted outside, all alone 

  

i will still feed the strays

everyday, every evening

regardless of outcome

if only to remember...

for the sake of tomorrow

this is why we share grace 

   if only to remember  

 

what it means to be human

This feels quietly powerful. The way you use feeding strays as a symbol for compassion really stayed with me, a reminder that small acts of grace are how we hold onto our humanity. Beautifully expressed,

[Davidgeo]

Why thank you Sarah. I appreciate your grace.

[Curly Grace]

Grace is the best tool we have if we have it in our tool belt, don't forget that, Davidgeo

[Davidgeo]

I will see you in sheol doll face

[Curly Grace]

If Sheol is where the strays and the stubborn-hearted end up, I suppose I’ll recognize you by the grin. Until then, keep your grace sharp.

[Davidgeo]

Sheol is where everyone goes. Be careful.

[Curly Grace]

“Sheol can wait. I’m still busy feeding strays up here.”

[Davidgeo]

Ha, that's pretty funny. I'm going to steal that one I'm sure at some point.

[Curly Grace]

my pleasure

[Davidgeo]
