Finders Keepers.

I saw
a dollar coin
on the pavement.
I picked it up.
Finders Keepers.

I saw
a twenty dollar bill
on the sidewalk.
I picked it up.
Finders Keepers.

I saw
an abandoned love-note
at the bus stop.
I picked it up.
Finders Keepers.

I saw a tiny baby dog
jumping around legs
on the street.
My daughter saw it too.
She stopped the car.
She picked it up.
Finders Keepers.
Not fair.
I saw the tiny dog first
and loved him
the moment I set
my eyes on him.
Finders Keepers
has abstract rules.

I saw
a packet of Dunhills
in the gutter.
It was nearly full.
I picked it up.
Finders Keepers.

I passed
an old homeless man
in the street.
I invited him
for a meal
and a place
to rest for the night.
He picked me up
when I was down.
Finder of a need.
Keeper of a friend.
Finders Keepers.

My daughter saw
a starved street kitten.
She passed him out
the window to me.
Finder of a need.
Keeper of a friend.
The Finder And A Keeper.

I found
God in the needy.
The Ultimate Keeper
of us all.
