Poverty Or Prosperity

Is there such a thing as poverty, is there such a thing as prosperity?
That is a question each much answer for themselves.
Is there such a thing as darkness, is there such thing as light?
That is a question you can see and share.
Poverty is where too much is in the wrong hands, not willing to share or care.
Darkness is the absence of light, light is where darkness is not.
When I look all around, I see light, I see prosperity.
But some see darkness and some see only poverty.
How can we change this picture for others who do not?
Will you share your light with others, will you share prosperity too? 
Poverty, prosperity, darkness, and light; which one do you see?
Will you share prosperity and light with others, or do I have to do it alone?
We are not on our own, we are not alone, God has made it possible for us all.
Spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, socially, economically, politically, we are not alone.
There is a warehouse of blessing, with a shout, it will be issued out.
There is no such thing as poverty, prosperity is only hidden behind the darkness.
Let us together, open our hands, and where there seems to be poverty, prosperity will come out. Where it seemed to be darkness, a light will come.
Let us open our hands together and it will get done.

God has given each one of us the means to help others. It isn't always with money. Time spent is another great tool H ehas given us. This poem reminds me of the three servants who were given talents and used the differently. Thanks for sharing. Oliver
