I reached out to a neighbor...
And heard, "That's nice of you."
I told her that I really felt,
"It's just the thing to do!"
Neighbors should show caring
When they see a real need.
All I did was feed their cat
And said I'd intercede.
Her brother's life was "on the line".
He truly needed prayer.
I could have looked the other way
And chosen not to care...
But people need each other.
It's right to be aware
And lend a helping hand...
To cheer them on by "being there".
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
Romans 13:9 KJV
