(Written 3-29-00, when I was with an Outreach Ministry that operated per Matthew 25:35)
Before the sun rises, MY world begins
Early morning is NOT for me
But I revel in the selfish quiet
It’s all I’ll have today
Today, I’ll hear the cries of hunger---the rasps of thirst
I’ll see the naked
Feel the loneliness of the imprisoned
And the despair of the afflicted
From that bleak rises a storm of compassion
Bolts of empathy powered by surges of caring
Surrounding me are the arms and hearts of those who TRULY care
They give…they love
They don’t stop
Can we help or save them all---or even SOME?
Are we on the right path?
Frustrated at times…I look to the sky
And there…..peering from behind a cloud
I see God and Matthew.....
I SEE GOD AND MATTHEW SMILE!
