The Poor Live In Mud. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Poor Live In Mud.

Rating: 5.0


With exultant lips
I call your holy name.
Lifting up my hands
I pray for the poor.

The poor are living in mud.
Help me to help them.
Give me a giving heart
and a smiling, consoling face.

In my search to find meaning
for life and all my activities,
I come to you for the gift of
dedication and perseverance.
