For The Homeless

For The Homeless

 

I’ve never been a rich man

Financially in my life

But I help the homeless when I can

And I am blessed I find

 

And when I give of myself

The poor sometimes smile

And never better have I felt

Than when they stay awhile

 

Many souls I have fed

At the shelter many days

And I’ve given beds to weary heads

Off the streets and safe

 

 A better man I became

 When I served the poor

And I knew many by first name

As they entered through our door

 

 And when I volunteered

I made many friends

And God was always somewhere near

To help me welcome them

          Empathy is its own payment to kind souls who give of themselves to others - a lovely read w.c.

            Thanks, Fay. Those who give are rewarded for their kindness and for those who receive there is gratitude..
