Look No Farther
Contributed by Nan Potts
It happened one time while shopping.
A mobile app glitch was shocking.
With groceries in cart,
Unable to part,
And pay what my bank was blocking.
Stepping aside I did calling,
That my failed bank app was galling.
I heard a voice say,
“May I help today?”
Stunned, I stood, almost at bawling.
She kindly remarked, “Let me treat.
I have helped before and can mete.”
She then swipe of her card,
I found it quite hard
To believe this stranger’s bold feat.
I thanked her for being so kind.
Then, asked how her I could find,
“I wish to repay,
There may come a day,
To aid you with funds I’m inclined.”
“Pay it forward,” she retorted.
“It’s my passion which I’ve sported.”
My words were lost,
Grateful, my cost,
Unworthy I felt and shorted.
What I learned that day about grace,
An Angel appeared in my case.
If you’ve any doubts
Of their whereabouts,
Look no farther than before your face.
