Do Something For The Less Fortunate
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these
my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew 25:40

Handiwork
Coming home from school,
She runs into your arms,
Handing you a painting,
A display of childish charm.
Vying for attention,
He shows you a homeless one.
Skillfully created, by He,
Who could not be out done.
You take the childish painting,
You choose the perfect frame.
You proudly then display it,
Once she's signed her name.
Yet, from His grand creation,
You turn. You look away.
You see it as unworthy,
You ignore His proud display.
So tender, yet so callous,
You toss His handiwork aside.
Not recognizing the value.
It was for this man....he died.
