"l Asked the Lord in Prayer

Why People Are

Begging for Food"

by judy joy jones




l asked the lord in prayer

why people are

begging for food



I thought god’s 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

heaven’s doors

and angels tenderly dried

the tears of the poor

all over earth’s shores



and thus the lord

said to me

the homeless will no longer be

when we share

with those in need
