Hunger and Strife - Help America!

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(2 votes)



  Young dear hearts along for the ride of life
Empty hungry tummies groan from inside

So much wealth in this nation could fill the void
Precious little lives all to often destroyed

Offer gods love with an inexpensive meal
For in gods heart theres fervor and zeal

Birth in america induces wealth beyond belief
Take this gift from god and pass on relief

One person can easily affect the equivalent of large crowds
Causing angels from heaven to celebrate out loud

God gave you 100% of what you've obtained
He only asks for 10% to be given without restrain

So help feed famined nations and spread his gospel to the ends of the earth
God will return the blessing 10 fold in heaven, or in this place that you were birthed

The cost is so little and reward so great
To feed a starving child - it is never too late

I hope this poem helped you to give and heed
The blessing goes to both you, and the child in desperate need
