RESTLESS (WHAT'S GOING ON!)

poverty in a world of plenty

Driving up the street I came across a woman begging for food to eat.

As I moved along I passed by an exhausted and struggling mother

Sitting out in the hot scorching sun waiting for the bus while she burned.

Further down I saw an homeless man

Living under the bypass

My tears began to fall, when I thought to myself I am so blessed.

Before going to bed I wondered about those three

Wondering where were their families during their of times of need.

I am not rich but I have an roof over my head

And I sleep comfortably every night in my bed

On that night I was restless

Thinking about those three

Knowing they needed me.

I know what it's like sitting in the hot scorching sun

Taking care of a family when the food level is down to none.

Sleeping underneath an bypass I have yet to come

Please sweet Jesus pass me on that one.

Most of us are just inches away of

The poverty line each day.

For many of us we consistently pray.

We pray for health, strength and hope

No longer for the need to cope.

Most of the rich only help themselves

They feed on the poor and make their lives a living hell.

I often wonder do they pray or

If they would come face to face with these people

What would they say?

 

Paying forward is something we all must do

We must help someone less fortunate than us to make it through.

To just help one person in need

We will plant a seed for them to survive

It is better to reach out than watch them die

A seed that will continually grow and before we know it

a World Of Poverty......No More.

Share what you possess

God will see your faith and kindness

And take care of the rest.
