Doing Versus Thinking Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

You may say you care, that you don't mind at all,
You may smile warmly and answer when I call;
You may reach out a hand to help should I fall,
But God knows what you are thinking.

You may act concerned and happy to assist,
You may give me money from your loosened fist;
You may take time to sit with me for a bit,
But God knows what you are thinking.

I want to think you love me and really care,
I want to call you and know that you'll be there;
I want to share burdens I'm trying to bare,
But God knows what I am thinking.

O God, help us to do, not just think the deed,
By acting in love to meet another's need;
O God, as you are, may we be so indeed,
And help us do as we're thinking.
