Homeless

i felt like crying. The feeling suddenly hit me when i saw him. i didn't like this feeling. it made me felt really uncomfortable. There he was sitting there on the floor cutting up paper boards. i stare a little while and walk slightly further away, towards my car and i looked back again. He was still sitting on the floor cutting up the same piece of paper board.

He was a homeless, old uncle. In his fifties maybe?

I don't know why i felt all emotional when i see him. i don't know him. i have never seen him before in my life. This is the first time me meeting him but all i felt was fear & tears. I don't know why. i just felt like crying all the sudden.

He was wearing a pair of shorts, halfway up his thigh kind of shorts. He was wearing a short sleeves polo t-shirt. He was wearing a red cap, and a pair of Japanese slippers. Lying around him were some plastic bags, a paper box, and more cut up paper boards. He was sitting on the walkway just right outside the Kopitiam.

As i was walking away, my mind is all about whether should i walk up to him and offer some warmth, or not. In the end i drove all the way home after doing nothing. I felt even more like crying on my way home. Home where my blanket, clean clothing, and bed are. All the warmth i needed on a cold night like right now where many homeless people out there are wishing they have right now. I should have offered him something. At least to make myself feel better.

i'm praying hard that it will not rain tonight, so the poor old man will have a warm night to rest himself in. i'm really praying hard that at least someone with a much better heart than i do will offer him a warm drink. i'm really praying that someone......anyone, please offer this old man an act of kindness that i failed to show.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Would you offer the old man some kindness? Or would you have walked away like me?

And i'm ashamed of myself for walking away......

WoooHooo......

Leona Lewis - I Will Be

This is sort of like a late post for me since this song is not that new anymore. I like this a lot and i think she sang it really well. So there you go.



There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me

All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go

[Bridge:]
I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

[Chorus:]
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

[Verse 2:]
I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly

You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me

[Bridge:]
And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go

[Chorus:]
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

[Ending bridge:]
Without you I can't sleep
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I've got, you're all I want
Yeah

Cause without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here, with me, do you see,
You're all I need

[Chorus:]
And I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life (my life), I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

[Chorus:]
I will be (I'll be), all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

And all my life, you know I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay
