Giving

And as the sun began to rise
Cries of hunger were so reflected in their eyes
And as that sun later began to set
None of these children had even eaten yet

But tomorrow is yet another day
For just one small bowl of food is for all that they pray
And that tomorrow isn't here yet
As this cry of hunger you need not let

We have so much more than so many others
And yet the Lord said that we are all brothers
It takes so little, not really much at all
Logging onto the Internet or making that call

And when all is said and done and the check has cleared
Upon your heart a mark of charity will be seared
Opening your heart and extending your hand
This tiny little act is really so much more grand

Colossians 3:14
And above all these things put on charity, 
which is the bond of perfectness.
