Open Your Heart


We hustle and bustle everyday,
While hurrying along our way;
Onto a crowded subway or bus,
Ears burn hearing another cuss.

Pushing through at your stop,
Before moving off you hop;
A beggar sits against the wall,
Looked very scruffy as you saw.

Appeared not shaved for weeks,
With a raspy voice as He speaks;
Sounding as if dried to the bone,
Talking with a sigh and a moan.

He asked whatever I could give,
For another day so he could live;
So I took pity in seeing his face,
Remembering God and His grace.

Open your heart and lend a hand,
To the poor and needy of the land;
Blessings will flow from the Lord,
God will ensure your just reward.
