Charity............St.Judes Childrens Research Hospital..USA
He turns his back on death; and says I stand alone,
But the Savior lends us breath; and paid the price to own.
Man is in denial; does not call on God.
His life has no bridle; but truly he is shod.
"Charity never fails"; always is found just!
Greed is what curtails; the selfish and the lust.
If we could learn to give; and help our brothers all.
We'd begin to live; our kindred would stand tall!
If we bow to Deity; and show Him our pure love.
Then be found with charity from Father up above.
There will be our treasure; our heart and our home.
Receiving our full measure; from the glowing throne.

I believe in the message of Christianity but not the religious texts if that makes sense.
I don't consider myself Christian but I believe in helping other people and I believe in my own interpretation of right and wrong.
I enjoyed this poem.

Hi Jim looks like Syd and I share a similar mindset, I powerfully sense something more but am not conventionally religious. Your work though contains a powerful.truth...we all need to be nicer because the world is a very sorry place and will remain so while mankind keeps voting in the worst of human kind to rule...?...hugs ?
There is no facility to vote Jim...apologies, Cosmo is full of glitches, I have noticed this on my page also...regardless you have my vote here ?
I didn't enter this one in the contest, it is just in the wishes rally. I think that is why it won't let you vote. However the likes are the catalyst, so thank you!
Strictly for charity, just hit like and you help. Not in the contest!
Awww such a Nobel cause for charity, such a message as well! I try and always support such works. Great write. All the Best. The Fish of the Sea.
