Warm Wishes

You are the homeless man who sleeps outside the neighborhood church whenever it gets cold. I am a young woman who lives next door. It could just be the weather getting warmer, but I haven’t seen you in a while, and I’m sorry—sorry that I never walked over with that pair of socks, or cup of tea, or spare blanket or sweater. You picked our neighborhood for the same reasons I did—it is safe, friendly and quiet. I only wish that I’d made it a little more welcoming. Hope to hear you snoring again soon.
