Wintertime is ended. Summer now is nigh,
Time for all to look around - a time to wonder WHY.
Why all the Earth is as it is, why people are so sad,
Why pain and misery abound - we can't be all that bad.
But can we? Let us think awhile. Have we done all we can
To feed the hungry, clothe the poor, uplift the stumbling man?
A little niggle pricks us there. Well, have we? Think again.
What have we done to ease the course of hunger, cold and pain?
What's that you say? They don't live here? They live across the sea?
Hundreds of miles divide them from the likes of you and me?
Your Heavenly Father sends his love, and fills you with His grace.
Does He consider just how far it is from place to place?
Let this time be your thinking time and set your conscience clear.
Share your thoughts, and say a prayer for those who are not near,
That man may so be guided to share the worldly wealth,
To feed the starving masses, and bring them back to health.
Your prayers will all be answered if you will do your part.
If love and understanding are coming from your heart.
So send out now your prayers for PEACE,
Send out your thoughts that wars may cease!
