If I knocked Upon Your Door

If I knocked upon your door

destitute and lonely

would you turn me away

and think of you and yours only

If I passed you on the street

in need

would you overlook me

in favor of your personal greed

If I fell down in front of you

would you walk on by

and just believe

it wouldn't have done any good to try

If I begged you

would you listen

or just go by what you've heard

and leave the hope in my eyes to glisten

for someone else to see.

I do try to help people in need as much as I can. Only have so much funds to do it with each month. I am sympathic to all I see and have lots to help each month too. Glad I can help some in some way.

This reminds me so much of the plight of the homeless.

Your compassion is an emotion we can all learn a thing or two from. You have a huge heart Pierre.

Love,
Susan
