Linda. Gracious One..

 


Her name was Linda

Often frequenting this bank

And today was Canada Pension

Deposited, having many purposes.

She often chatted with my friend Bruno.

Between jobs. Good jobs, and

With no certain source of cash yet.

Out in the cold and 

Seeking solutions with a teenage Son.

Who had dropped out of

Eleventh grade.



Bruno and I hit it off

With a common interest in Music.

Linda often gave him a fiver

Talked with the young man.

As he set aside his cardboard sign.

And smiled warmly. Just as if

Things were back to normal

And a warm apartment waiting.
