A Little Charity Courtesy of a Troubled Soul

one can of soup to give will not hurt me one bowl of rice to offer will not break the bank one loaf of bread will not terribly lighten the load one bottle of water will not move me to any type of tears a smile from a struggling mother quenches my everything a hug from a starving child satisfies any need i have for fulfillment a struggling family's nourishment is worth each sacrifice that i am led to make a mother and child living to see the next day makes me know my own tomorrow is worth it
