I saw the face of God

In the streets of Nairobi

He had a big smile

I could see the last Tooth

What a smile that was!

He was genuinely happy

He said “thank you”

I smiled back

I forced that smile

Because my heart sunk

I couldn’t stop feeling

Feeling that what I gave him

Wasn’t worth all that appreciation

I should’ve given more

I should’ve given it all

For that big smile

The smile of God

Maybe next time

I’ll give more than that bread

I’ll give him clothes and shelter

For I long for that smile

On the face of God!
