What you do unto the least of my brethren
you do unto me
Matthew 25:40
AUSTRALIANS OF THE YEAR
two wonderful young men
provide showers
and laundry facilities
in orange vans for the
homeless
may God bless them
and all the volunteers
for showing compassion
giving
a little piece of dignity
to the
unwanted
shunned
forgotten
by the spawn of mammon
who rule and live amongst us
in overwhelming numbers
angels give comfort
a little piece of paradise
to the homeless

ReplyDeleteIndeed, bless them and others who heed this calling. As long as we have people without homes we'll need these angels.
ReplyDeleteyes, they are blessings indeed. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood works!!
ReplyDeleteI think to do rather than to say what you think you should do (or somebody else should do) is poles apart - true religion just maybe getting your hands dirty and remembering there but for the grace of god.. The orange van men are true blessings..as are you ;)
ReplyDeleteNow THOSE are my kind of people, who dont just feel for the homeless, but do some boots on the ground helping..........what a wonderfully thoughtful program. Nothing makes a person feel better than a shower. I cant think of a better thing to offer the homeless - besides a home.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is filled with hope and positivity. Yes, there are such compassionate beings who are angels on earth. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeletethey live not in words but in deeds...a blessing to this world..thanks for the share...
ReplyDeleteNice tribute. Thank you for this
ReplyDeleteWonderfully compassionate.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was so thrilled and admiring when I first learned of this.
ReplyDeleteIt is not hard for each of to help one another. Whether it is giving to reputable charities, volunteering or just simply helping someone across the road. Sadly our society fall far short of being an integrated one...one day perhaps!
ReplyDeleteWonderful to read a tribute to others, who do so much for others. Like the way you've laid your poem out too. Nice one
ReplyDeleteWe are all blessed when we reach out to others.
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice of topic for this theme, Rall. These young men really deserve a whole lot of praise.
