Maybe Tomorrow

"it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God"     Luke 18:25


How rich must I be to give all that I can?
To help ease the suffering of my fellow man.
Those that are homeless & constantly hungry.
To give all that I can , how rich must I be?

Always food on my table, what I call quite well to do.
The woman on the street for her next meal not a clue.
I know I should give as much as I am possibly able.
What I call well to do, always food on MY table.

Maybe tomorrow, I will see if there is anything I can give.
Or maybe someone richer than I will offer help for them to live.
I don’t actually have enough to do much to ease their sorrow.
I will see if there is anything I can give, maybe tomorrow.

Richard Lamoureux Date: 1/11/2024 11:27:00 AM I heard one that when a man was giving to a poor man, his friend said, “There is so much poverty, what difference can you make?” He responded, “I can make a difference in that man’s life.” Your poem is infused with wisdom.

Jay Narain Date: 1/10/2024 9:13:00 AM To help under privilege, we always procrastinate for tomorrow. A small amount at any time is a big contribution, Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 1/10/2024 1:53:00 PM Yes, its so easy to say maybe tomorrow, and you are right Jay. I have learned that sometime a mere conversation to a lonely homeless person, feeds their spirit. Of course feeding their hunger is even better. All the best to you jay.

Ink Empress Date: 1/10/2024 12:18:00 AM Its good to see you writing again, and as always you do rhymes so well, and this is such a meaningful and heartfelt poem that i felt so deeply. If only the world was full of those that think like you do, and find pleasure in giving to others, how beautiful this world will be. Its sad to see so many suffering, and the little we can do is , appreciate and be grateful for what we have and give as much as we can like you’ve said! Pleasure always reading your work: best wishes for the contest Login to Reply Speaks Volumes Date: 1/10/2024 2:00:00 PM I thought by turning my attention to painting, I could escape an element of Soup that is unsavoury, but apart from learning that painting isn't as easy as it looks, its kinda lonely. One whole week of not writing poetry was enough. Thank you for the welcome back sweet Empress.
