This is a poem I wrote a couple of months ago. Just thought
I would share it with ya'll
It's entitled From the Heart of a Missionary
------
Take a minute
Look around
See the breaking world
“Nothing I can do”
You might say
But you’re wrong
Reach out to someone
Give your time
Share a smile
“I’m too busy”
You might say
That’s just an excuse
Leave your comfort zone
Go somewhere else
Help the hurting people
“That is a scary thought”
You might say
Yes it is
Think about those people
What you can do for them
Change their lives
“I don’t know how”
You might say
You can learn
You aren’t the only one
Who occupies the world
There’s always someone worse off
“I haven’t thought about it like that”
You might say
Maybe it’s time to
start
Look at the crying children, working for a meal
The women forced into the sex trade
They’ve never known anything else
“I want to help them”
You might say
You can do it, it’s
possible
Show these broken people love
Bring them hope
Put your faith on display
“It’s time that I did something… anything”
You might say
Now you’re getting it
