Today Is: 25 in Change: Day 10

"God does notice and he watches over us. But it is through another person that he meets our needs." -- Spencer W. Kimball

No food in my stomach to fuel the creative juices in my brain, so I am posting a poem written by Kymee.


 Starving Are the Children by Kymee


Starving are the children
In this world of ours today
Days go by without any food
Which makes it hard to play.

The children search in the nearby dump
For whatever food they can find
Most often it is rotten
Which makes their health decline.

Their bellies are empty and full of worms
Distended and in pain
By not receiving healthy food
It depletes the children’s brains.

It’s really hard to go to school
Sit there and concentrate
Certain children get to eat first
While the young ones have to wait.

No child should ever go hungry
In a world so abundant with food
Still they must suffer in silence
With no options on what to do.

They need us to feed the hungry
Which is a essential for them to survive
Too often we turn our backs on them
And their suffering and being deprived.

I pray for those who have no food
In hopes to get them help
Their circumstances are unnecessary
And don’t warrant a life of hell.




"Be the example; spread hope." --unknown
