What Would You Do

What would you do if you saw someone today Who needed help, whose life's in decay What would you do if you stopped and stared As others passed by too busy or scared Would you take time to encourage a downtrodden soul Or would you keep walking, stuck on cruise control What would you do if you saw someone in need Would you walk on by while they silently plead What would you do if they looked to you Would you keep going or would you come through It is always the right thing to give a helping hand For one day it could be you sitting in no man's land

Excellent write here April...I am one who is always looking to lend a hand. What matters is what is on the inside. That's what I see. :o)

PS You can see what a big deal it is for street people when you talk with them. However some people want too be left alone

Wonderfully inspiring. One of my favorite songs is Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath, a Christian artist. This poem has the same message
