I Asked the Lord in Prayer

by Judy Joy Jones



l asked the lord

in prayer

why people are

begging for food

 
I thought

gods goodness

was for everyone

 
and the lord

answered me

 
the poorest of the poor

count on you and me

to be their voice

hands and feet

 
and when we give

until it hurts

the poorest of the poor

will be no more

 
the day will come

when everyone will have

food shelter and medical care

 
the lord then opened

heavens doors

and angels tenderly dried

the tears of the poor

all over earths shores

 
and thus the lord

said to me

the homeless

will no longer be

when we share

with those in need
