Recently, I was in Walmart in Greenwood, S.C.; and as I entered the store, one of the greeters, Lula, was introduced to me…She was very kind, and she asked me where her poem was about her…She knew that I had written several poems about employees in this particular Walmart…It was a great pleasure to meet her and to hear what she had to say…I could see that she was very genuine and truly wanted me to write a poem about her…I was uncertain when I would have time to do this and what I would write…
This past week, I wrote the poem entitled “The Sweet Soul”…This is my perception of her, and I was honored to write my thoughts and share them with her…I printed the poem out and took it by the store…She happened to be off, but of the managers was kind enough to give this to this lovely lady…
Today, I had a phone call from this lady…What a joy for me…This truly is what my gift is about…It is the energy that I receive from others that allows me to write…God has given me this gift, and I am so very honored that He considered me…The lady in the phone call was so very gracious and kind in her appreciation of my efforts…This is the true reward for me personally of my gift…
