His name's Jimmy, and he has feelings too...

A few pence was all he had, but they didn't see its relevance, they only saw it as a few pence, they were just going to leave it were he had slumped down.
They searched for something to identify him, it was a label tied round his neck on a bit of string.
He was ill, needed comfort, but they saw his shabby cloths and smelt the acrid smell of incontinence, and shouted at him. If he had worn a suit they would have offered him comfort and not just treatment.
It made me cry, its making me cry now thinking of it.
Jesus I just pray that where they didn't show him kindness that you would in his loneliness hold him. And when he is sent back into the cold air, that he wouldn't feel it for your warmth and love would penetrate it.................Amen
