October 30, 2011: The poem below was written by one of our guests and delivered to us at the center:

Heaven’s Grocery Store

One day I was taking a stroll
and came upon a place called
Heaven’s Grocery Store.
I stopped to take a look inside.
To my surprise the doors opened wide.
Down aisle one I went cause I was sad.
Grabbed some hope for things gone bad.
I asked myself what is this place.
A little old lady said it’s a place of grace.
Down the next aisle I went.
Looking down I saw a little boy.
He said to me, “You need some joy?”
Boy oh boy that gave me strength
so up the next aisle I merrily went.
Everything was so clear,
no bad thoughts of dark or fear.
On this last aisle I knew my fate
from now on I’ll have nothing but faith.
I went to the register to pay my price.
Yes oh yes, I was feeling nice.
I asked the man what I owe.
“Nothing,” he said.
“No, really what do I owe?”
“My son Jesus paid the price a long time ago!”

We always appreciate food donations and are very grateful.
