what if

What if God
stopped you on the street
asked you for a dime,

said he was hungry,
then started to cry?

How deep would you dig,
would you stop at the dime,
or give him a whole dollar

or would you just rush on by,
saying you haven't got time.

I'm not sure, but I think maybe,
I saw him today.

I was walking along
and he got in my way.

He asked me for money
and then I did say,
here you go,
it's not much,
but it's all that I've got.

He said, it's not the gift,
it's the giving than makes me smile.
