Deep, Deep Ponder Pool ~*Marge Tindal*~ Deep, deep ponder pool this school of swimming thought What questions asked ?What answers sought ? I know without a doubt you see there is no beauty in a hungry belly Be it child, woman or man No beauty on this earth can fill the need of seed as continual hunger dwells in poverty All the sweet music of the song does not fill a tummy long Does not make a warm, safe bed for the weary to lay their head For it's up to us you see to provide for those less fortunate than we God provides the best He can then He leaves the rest to man~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge...I wish we could fax this to our leaders. I will not get on a soap box here (although believe I could speak and write much on this topic). Suffice it to say, gentle heart, I couldn't agree with you more! A wonderful write, my lovely friend! Patricia |

Corinne~ Sweetie ... you nailed it ! And compassion begins on each doorstep. If just ONE of us gives to another less-fortunate this day ... think of how far we could go to filling an empty belly. I was inspired to write this a long time ago, by someone's post here at Passions ... and after following my own advice in my work at a feed-station for the homeless ... I realize that I have so much more than I need and giving is something I can do. I was able to talk my church into a program where each member family 'adopts' a needy family ... takes so little to give to others. Thanks everyone ... now, what are you doing ? Surely it has been evidenced that we can't wait for our 'leaders' ! *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
