(134) Charity Poem by Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)

Perhaps one of the sweetest words
For the poor and those who can afford too
Charity should be given by everyone
That is, including you
There are so many people even in India
Who work throughout the day
You might be thinking they earn lots
But actually, the get very little as pay
So rummage through all your clothes,
Your books and even toys
To see what all you can give
To those poor girls and boys
If all the prosperous people in the world
Contributed just a little
It won’t be long before every poor person
Has a life that is settled
So contribute now towards charity
I’m sure you have something to give
Help in making this world
A better place to live.
