When the hand was held out to you, on the street
did you reach in your pocket
or shift your gaze?
And saw the child who cried
and no one answered
Did you lift them in your arms?
When the widow sat alone
remembering his past
did you hear his stories?
Or hold the hand of one in pain
and cry with them,
sharing their moment?
Give your only dollar
to the man who wanted coffee..
your dinner to your neighbor?
See the steel bars
in front of your brother
and reach in between them?
Did you tell a joke
just to make them smile?
Answer the phone
so that they wouldn't be alone?
Did you do it to the least of these?
