Good Samaritan

As you go
Where God will send
Be a neighbor; be a friend
Don't pass by
On the other side
When you see the hurting ones
Be merciful
And pity them
Who somehow have become victims
Help and love them
As you do yourself
Be like the Good Samaritan  

Find the hurt
Pour oil and wine
To cleanse their wounds you bind
Lift and warm 
Them in your arms
Let love be their inheritance
Carry them
With gentle prayer
To where they will get more care 
At your expense
Follow up on them
Like the Good Samaritan
