The Dollar Song ?

Even old Hoboclowns get distressed from time to time.I decided to go to a favorite dining haunt for lunch and ordered a large red beans and rice with a biscuit and a small soda.The counter girl commented,"The small soda costs $2.29.Do you still want it?" Obviously, to wash down my culinary misery feast,I said 'Yes'. Sitting alone at a tiny table for two,I was nearly finished my lunch when a man about 55 years old and ten years my junior, walked in the restaurant, stopped at my table and asked if I wanted to buy a ___. I thought he said "buy a dog". He answered,"No, do you wanna buy a ___"and showed me a piece of paper with writing on it.Naturally, with old eyes all I saw was a piece of looseleaf paper with blurry writing on it. I asked him to let me see the piece of paper and he gave it to me while saying, " Will you give me a dollar for this song?How much would you give me for that song? A dollar, two dollars ? I wrote it myself. How much do you think it's worth ?"I put on my readers and began to read the "song" and after reading through the first five words, I told him I would give him $3.00 and quickly folded the paper and placed it in my shirt pocket. With that the man exclaimed," Wow! You think it's worth $ 3.00 ?" . I told him 'yes' and he smiled and walked out of the restaurant door. Curiosity was getting me because I realized that the "song" that the man wrote was really a prayer. Next, I stopped at the store to buy a small doggie food mat and a bag of treats for the dog and tomorrow's sunday newspaper.Now,I will fully read the "song" ( prayer) for the first time and share it with you: " 01 I love God because He 02 first love me I love god 03 because He love you 04 and lots of kind like 05 all things god Jesus Holy 06 Spirit has made " To me, the lyrics are really a spiritual affirmation or testimony or a psalm-like selfie written by a stranger. Was he really a stranger or was he well known by the subject of his affirmation? Obviously, I thought the "prayer" was worth more than the $2.29 small soda.It was likely 'priceless' .I believe I got a bargain !
