NOTW-Who I Am


Not of this world

but in this globe.

I hold fast to the word

I hold, I hold.

 

When will they see?

I give them peace

from their rags and emotions

from the pain they've seen

 

I feed them no bread

but I feed them words.

In the thought that 

it'll cast away their hunger.

 

I go to countries

without running water

I hug those with

dead sons and daughters.

 

I comfort the orphans,

the lonely, and sad.

I do these things, 

but I still feel bad.

 

I haven't reached

All that I can.

I can only go so far

With my short wingspan.

 

But soon, I'll bring more to Him

It's my life, who I am within.

Not many know, but many can tell.

The love I have for others is a deep well.
