Helping Hand

So recently I have been working at our Brandon location. Since working there I have came in communication with a Deaf guy, Jody. The first time he walked in he I didn't know he was Deaf until he started making loud noises to get my attention. When I started to sign to him his face lit up and we began to have a conversation. He has recently told me he has no money or food so Every day he has been in and I have bought him some yogurt. Every time he tells me "God Bless You" or "God Loves You" or "I love you" and "Thank You" I knew I wasn't going to be in today so I left an envelope with money in it for my coworker to allow him to get yogurt. She texted me told me he was so excited to see that envelope from me with some money to get him yogurt with. This fills my heart with joy to know I can help someone! My coworker and I are planning on going to get him so food for him to have. 

Sealed

"Sealed"

One step forward three steps back 

Wondering what will become of this anxiety attack

Bestowed a trust like none other 

Only to be proven one is like another 

Up went a wall 

With hopes not to fall

Wore the heart on a sleeve 

For you to just leave

Gave up without a fight 

Staying strong with all my might

Knowing in time everything will be fine

Just waiting for a sign 

A slow pace will heal the broken 

From all this comes a token 

With hopes one day it will be revealed 

Until then a heart stays sealed.

Mirror

"Mirror" 

Peering into the mirror 
What is that reflection?
Brighten the window so the picture is clearer 
Staring at an image with questions 

The soul seen through the eyes 
Confusion racing the mind 
Its never easy when it comes to goodbyes
Just need time to unwind 

Picking up the fragments  
Praying glue can hold them together 
Knowing they will forever have an indent 
Hoping soon I will become stronger.
