while walking to my car

i crossed a man

who was stopped

on the sidewalk

he had his bags on the ground

and he stood for a rest

his smile was wider than a mile

‘jesus loves you’

was embroidered on his ball cap

seeing my guitar in hand

he said

‘do you play?’

‘yes’ i said

‘congratulations!’

‘thanks’

‘do you sing as well?’

‘yes’

‘i am so proud of you!’

‘that makes one of us’

as i passed him

he picked up his bags

and sauntered on

and i went to the airport

and played harvest moon

five times

cuz i’m still in love with you

just like jesus is

god bless
