We're busy helping and praying for the children
Who don't like what
we've fixed for dinner
Who fell down on the
sidewalk and ripped their new pants
Who are having
trouble learning to read
Who seem too big to
still be carrying a blanket around |
|
But are we too busy to help and pray for the children
Who are so hungry
that they will eat anything
Who are in desperate
need of adequate clothing
Who only dream of
learning to read and write
Who have no blanket
to comfort them and keep them warm |
|
We're busy helping and praying for the children
Who play so hard that
they need a bath every night
Who want to skip
their dinner and only eat dessert
Who always want to
sleep in our bed instead of their own
Who cry because
they're scared when they go to the doctor |
|
But are we too busy to help and pray for the children
Who have no soap to
keep them clean
Who never have
dessert
Who have no one to
comfort them
Who desperately need
medical attention and none is available |
|
We're busy helping and praying for the children
Who love to play
soccer and feel like a winner
Who like large
refrigerator type boxes to play in
Who need to be taken
to dance and singing lessons
Who have trouble
sharing their toys with others |
|
But are we too busy to help and pray for the children
Who have never felt
like a winner and have never seen a ball
Who live in cardboard
boxes because boxes are better than no home
Who have nothing to
sing or dance about
Who don't have any
possessions of their own to share |
|
|
We can't be so busy with our prosperous lives that we cannot find the time
to reach out to those in need. For we remember that when we have done
it unto the least of these, we have done it unto Thee. |
