day 252

“’I was eyes to the blind,

     and feet to the lame. 

  I was a father to the needy,

     and I championed the

           cause of the stranger.’”  Job 29:15-16

 

if we truly want

to go back to some

golden era of life,

let it be to those days

when compassion was

chosen over cruelty,

when love was spoken

more often than hate,

when generosity was

not a dirty word,

when the lonely and forsaken

knew they could come

to us and find wide open

hearts

and arms
