People suffer; it’s always going to happen

but that’s hardly an excuse to stand idly by.

We need to make a stand every now and then

only then will successful deeds start to apply.

Charity is not weakness, but an act of love

to show sincere kindness for those in need.

A gesture of respect that is rarely spoken of

restoring dignity with the act of a simple deed.

It’s a shame there isn’t more than I could do

as at times I require resources to take action.

My lack of help occasionally makes me blue

as the help given rarely offers any satisfaction.

More can be done; of that I am quite aware

to really show how much we actually care.
