missed an opportunity to share the love of God

a young man with aids and one last bud

he walks past then stops  “take my picture”

he asks simply for a ride to a better place

in my mind I want to say no I cant drive you but may I pray for you?

instead I stood there listening to his quick condensed story of his life then simply let him pass by

why am I so slow and timid to share the gift that God has given me?
