A Single White Feather

by Destiny

I sat on a park bench,
Feeling sad, angry full of self pity.,
An Old Man came along and sat down beside me.,
He asked...,
"Child why do you look so forlorn?"

To which I replied...,
"Sir. Everyone is against me,
I am unhappy, miserable and alone."

The Old man smiled,,
Taking my hand in his.,
He gently replied..,
"Dear One,,
You are a Child of God!,
As such, You are never alone.,
Have faith in others and in all that you do,,
The World will then have faith in you.,
Smile, in times of stress and trouble.,
The World will always smile back at you,,
Things are seldom as bad as they seem.,
Count your blessings...,
For you have many.

When feeling low and full of self pity,,
Think of those, less fortunate then yourself.,
For unlike many,,
You have health, youth and vitality.,
Talk over your problems,
By morning they will fade,
Like the morning mist.,
Respect your neighbour...,
He too, in turn will respect you.,
Let Love into your heart...,
And be loved in return.,

Now close your eyes, My Child,,
Reflect on all that I have said.",

As I closed my eyes,,
I felt a heat fill my body.,
A warmth that touched my very soul,
Sweet tranquillity.,
Peace.,
A smile spread over my face.

As I opened my eyes...,
I turned towards the Old Man.,
To Thank him.

He had gone...,
Vanished...,
Into thin air...,
There in the place,
Where the Old Man had sat,
Lay a beautiful, single white Feather
