You Just Passed Me By This was written by my sister  "This is something I wrote in March of 1999 and I thought I would share it here. I hope it touches you as much as it did me when God placed it in my heart. God Bless"~Crickettt~ You Just Passed Me By I stood in the rain shivering from the cold night air My clothes were old and torn I had no coat to keep me warm I saw you coming in my direction hoping you would help me But, you just passed me by. We were so hungry and our hadn't eaten in days I saw you outside bringing in your groceries For a moment, you looked my way I waved at you hoping you'd come visit and see our need But, you just passed me by. I was so lonely and hurting, just longing for a friend My limbs, now feeble with age, kept me from getting out as much The recent death of my spouse was just to hard to bear alone I saw you drive by today and hoped you would stop and comfort me But, you just passed me by. My parents both died and I was left orphaned at the age of nine I had no other family and no place else to go I saw you today while you were shopping You recognized me on the street and I thought you would offer me a place to stay and rest But, you just passed me by. The doctors said I didn't have much longer to live So, I lay there in the hospital wishing someone would visit me and lift my spirits You came by today to eat lunch with a friend I hoped you might stop by my room and cheer me up But, you just passed me by. These four cell walls become very discouraging and empty at times I got down on my knees today and prayed for someone to visit me I needed some encouraging words to help ease my pain I saw you walking by outside and wondered if you might remember me here in this prison But, you just passed me by. I came to see you today , during your busy day I thought you might stop to listen because, I had so much to say I tried to get your attention and urge you along the way But, you were too distracted and couldn't slow down to pray Then, for just a moment, I thought you heard my voice And so I waited patiently But, you just passed me by. Why is it my friend, somehow we cannot see The many people around us so desperately in need If we would only, give to the poor, feed the hungry, comfort the aging, help the orphaned, visit the sick, reach out to those in prison and make time for Jesus.... Then, maybe we'd realize that there's much more to living and we'd seize each opportunity But, instead we're too busy in this world to notice all their cries for help So, we just pass them by. Matthew 25:31-40-....Truly I tell you, in as much as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have also done it unto me. ©Copyright 2009-Crickettt’s Sanctuary/Author- “Crickettt”.
