She Was Sleeping On The Sidewalk

We're leaving the Varsity, going to get on the highway and I see this woman sleeping on the sidewalk, right next to the street, traffic everywhere.
I saw lots of people in the street today, my people, people who didn't even know my heart recognized them.  A lady with her jeans tied with a boot lace, that wild look in her eye.  A man who could barely walk carrying a couple of bags, I saw sitting on a bench as we drove back through.
A guy sitting on an overpass wall, intently writing something in a book.
People sleeping against the walls, people's stuff, shopping carts, a bag lady with her dog who had lovely dreds.
I saw them.  I saw each and every one of them.  They were not unnoticed today, not one single one of them.
I searched for them as I drove along, knowing they were there.
It was overwhelming.
It's easy to be a big fish in a little pond, but what about making an impact in the ocean without growing any bigger?
I put them in my memory, make sure the burn is deep, so I never ever forget them.  I carry them with me in my love for them.
Everywhere I go I see homeless people.
My heart is so broken that I can't help them all but I guarantee you I will love those He's given to me enough for all of them.
I will love them for the rest of my life.
And I'm crying...................................................................................
