For the visually challenged reader, the image shows an older man sitting on a bench by a park. There is a trolley bag behind him. He is playing a stringed instrument and has a collection bag by his feet.
************

The crowd were mezmorized. They stopped and stared in amazement, this man had talent! He was playing his instrament so beautifully, everyone was throwing money into his bucket.

What they didnt know was, he was homeless, had nowhere to go tonight, or any night for that matter, he busked by day to try to get a couple of euro together to buy some food so he could eat.

As he chatted to the crowd once he’d finished his tunes, he felt a surge of sadness, if they only knew?
