"THEY" "THEY' are faces of hurt, and faces of hope, from riches to rags, a rapid steep slope. What do we chase? What do we need? How much is worthy? How much is greed? If you have more and I have less, How does that lead to such a mess? What is valued, What is dear? The things that we have or those we hold near? We have fine houses, we have fine cars, then waste the blessings, hanging out in bars. We don't care who has a meal or does not. Talk about the poor and the topics get hot. "THEY" want to be that way "THEY" won't work and gain. One illness, one fall and we now feel "THEIR" pain. The bank owns the house, now the Beamer is gone. Our fine home is a tent and we sing a new song. Now we know now we see how easy it is for "THEY" to be "ME". The poor will always be with us, He said. Then we were commanded to help them as led. There is no judgment no results to wiegh Just a simple direction to love the poor today. So when we see them will we wonder: Are THEY really homeless or in their own intentional blunder? For even if it is the latter- something is wrong, something's the matter. Somewhere "THEY" lost the hope for things bright and slipped away quietly into the night. Who will reach out for the hopeless and fight Who will be Christ's hand to guide them to light. Do we have what it takes to stay the course? Even with no quick reward, and with no remorse? Will we entertain angels or selfishly run? And think only of gain, of "ME" - number one? Pray that none of us need to walk in those shoes. In the blink of an eye all we could lose. But never can we lose that healing, guiding, love. That grace and mercy, from high above. So be His hands today as you walk down the street. Be kind and giving to "THEY" that live there, you meet.
