The News Reaches our Doors

The news reaches our doors
Another country is in need
Though on far distant shores
We've a responsibility

The admonition comes from the Lord
To feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick
The question is how much can one afford
And with limited funds... how does one pick

The Lord would that we reach those far regions
On a mission of humanitarian aid
There to pass boundaries of race and religion
For, with hearts affected...the trip must be made

Can an artificial border be put around need?
Can a man put off tears seeing a child in pain?
We can group with others who've obtained funds to lead
And replace the weakness of one standing alone...with a campaign

campaign- several related operations aimed at achieving a particular goal
