Beloved Mama

He wanted to sell a chair, for one dollar-
I don't need the chair, but I have a dollar-
said I.
Just take it,
he replied...
No, I really don't need it-
Wait here, I'll be right back with my dollar...
So he waited...
and I returned and handed him the dollar-
I'm sorry I don't have more-
I stated...
He thanked me and walked off-
After he left, I realized-
He didn't want to be a beggar-
He wanted to sell to make his wage.
As I walked toward him, he kept his eyes down-
Invisible,
He thinks no one notices-
He thinks nobody sees-
He doesn't realize that he is somebody-
To many, he's merely,
Invisible
