Take a good look around you.

Walk slowly through your town.

What you see may astound you,

The experience may bring you down.

♥

Families fracture and fail,

Young couples face great fears,

Life is meager and frail.

These thoughts bring me to tears.

♥

When you look through the eyes of the Lord,

Compassion will fill your heart.

Help as you can afford,

Prayer is a great place to start.
