"GRIEF"
Lillie McFerrin Writes
"The mad woman", that's what the passersby called her.
I saw her standing at the same place every morning on my way to work; shabby and tattered, she stood with a small white basket.
She would dance on the road, obstruct traffic, make some noise so that someone would look at her, have pity on her and drop a penny.
It so happened that on one such day, she stopped me; I dropped a few coins in her basket.
She smiled back and said, "God bless you", but all I could see behind that smile in her face, was "Grief".
