We see the kindness of others
after a devastating storm
other times we see mans brutality
when others do not conform
This world seems to forget about
the children's hunger and starvation
the poverty and mortality rate
found in a third world nation
The senseless bombs in Baghdad
where lives no longer seem to matter
suicide bombers leaving carnage
soldiers,civilians reduced to splatter
Abortions by the millions every year
partial birth means no life at all
how can we not save Gods children
so tiny, so fragile and so small
Take time to see all the sadness
try to make a difference in their life
there are many ways to make them smile
help them with their poverty and strife
God says to help our fellow man
yet the world is full of so much animosity
what ever happened to love thy neighbor
hatred and selfishness is all I can see
Someday we will all be accountable
God has predestined our destiny
the kindness you show will be rewarded
you will walk with God for all eternity
Author notes
Faith- Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hope- Philippians 3:14 Press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ.
Love- 1 Peter 4:8-9 above all love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sin.Offer hospitality to thers without grumbling.
Love- Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to it's neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Unfortunately when man sees other man getting ahead through nonloving ways he is tempted to do it too, especially when his
prayers aren't answered. Little do we realise that want is not need and want leads to all trouble in the world. I want what he has and will get it by any means available. Little releasing that we are ALL tyed together in end and advance or fall as a group. Bad is a necessary evil for it not only shows us what the consequences of our actions might be but it also stands as an example of how NOT to act, love or live...Unfortunately we can not have one without the other, for that is the basic law of duality that can be see throughout all of the cosmos...

Wow!! Very very nice! We have such immense suffering in this world and we all must look at it and do something. I especially love the stanza:
