Well what can I do to do more to give,
So others might enjoy life and that they might live;
People are starving right across the whole world,
While we have plenty of food, clothes and the word.
.
I cherish this life God gave through his Son,
While some perish without a meal, not even one;
I earn and take but what else can be done,
Surely I can see I am not blind to give some.
.
Money is just a means and a vehicle or tool,
That I might use wisely and not be a fool;
If I could only reach out and give from my heart,
People might be enriched from the end till the start.
.
Poverty is seen in countries underdeveloped,
Needing support and infrastructure so life can develop;
We should teach so they learn to look after themselves,
So they can read and enjoy those books on the shelves.
.
Things are not funny with such dramatic life loss,
God gave us good minds and Christ died on the cross;
So that we could support people and win the right prize,
Of victory in heaven if we will commit to the price.
.
So dig deep you people, and empty out your pockets,
While some countries will flourish and others go in rockets;
Your love only comes back if you give it away,
And for that now I plead and for this now I pray.
.
Signed,
You can't take it with you
