helping others

i helped my 11 year old goddaughter write this poem. it's awesome, eh? ;)


helping others
by schola zapanta

Cardboard boxes as a home,
No pillow, no blanket makes them cold.
Digging in dumpsters to find scraps to eat,
No shirt on their back, no shoes on their feet.


No brothers or sisters to hug and to kiss,
No father or mother to enjoy holidays with.
No cousins to watch your back or help you grow up,
No friends to talk to, to just laugh about stuff.


So what can we do for these people in need?
We can start by finding just one to feed.
Or let’s donate some blankets to make them warm,
Or even an umbrella to keep them dry in a storm.


We can give them gifts on Christmas day,
Or every night pray to God that they’ll be okay.
Just a little bit of effort can help them a lot,
It’s really not hard to share what we’ve got.
