Samaritans Poems - Poems about Samaritans


In the Bible On My Shelf

They say that in the Holy Land so very far away
there really are SAMARITANS, who to the present day
at Eastertide or then abouts ..but wait! Who comes our way?
Some long-haired Wanderer, I've guessed,
but let US listen for a JESt to what HE has to say!

"My names are one and many,to some I was JIM CROW.

"Woman raises over $315K for homeless veteran . . ."  ABC News Nov '17

			
A homeless man with only twenty dollars to his name,

He could never keep his breakfast down
Every morning robbed of the feeling
Of being full, of being useful, alone

In stone hands
