An Extra Glance

I had a meeting in downtown Kansas City and I had some extra time prior, so I though I would go to a coffee shop and catch up on some emails. Matt pointed me in the direction of the closest Starbucks and I began walking skimming the building for the green and white logo. It was cold and I walked around the block and back, not finding it. Suddenly I felt myself relax, stop skimming and start really looking. I noticed people routinely opening up their shops, and a lady in heels with a briefcase, and then a man resting his eyes standing up. I could tell that he was trying to keep an eye out on his possessions but he looked exhausted. It was so cold how could anyone be able to sleep out here? I walked by him and waited at the cross walk. He never asked me for anything but I felt that I wanted to give him money. I wanted to make him happier. I reached into my purse and found the five dollars I was going to spend on a latte and walked back over to the man. I placed it on his hand. I said, "I hope you have a good day sir" and walked away.
