Hello.

in our town

the richest of the world

come to play golf

and sail the fairest of seas

and skydive from the lushest of mountains 

 

in our town

the poorest children of the world

need food

and clothes

and pencils and books

 

in our town

these children do not have what their bodies need

 

and in our town

they do not have what their souls need…

 

the love of parents

and the knowledge of the love

of the God who loves them

 

if you live in a first-world country 

you may not have seen what we have seen

 

the richest of the world…

 

and the poorest of the world…

 

living within barely a mile away from one another

 

this is where we have to face the challenge…

 

of opening the eyes of the poor

to the love of God.

 

by opening the eyes of the rich

to the love of God

 

for the poor
