The Love of Neighbors
By Pearlie Duncan Walker ©
Something rather surprising came in my mail today,
It was from our neighboring countries near and far away,
They were Praying for our misfortunes, for our grief,
For families caught up in a plight of hate like waters pounding on a reef.
Oh, for neighbors to love and cherish, on whom we can rely,
When grief and death comes streaking from up high into the sky.
Let us be good neighbors too, always with a ready hand,
As hath all the workers in New York had, to help in our land.
We need to depend on a Savior, who can always conquer all.
If we put our trust and faith in Him, on Him we can call.
Thank you neighbors all around the world so big and wide.
I never knew there were so many, who in trouble would stand by our side.
Thank all the many nations, names that go unsaid today.
My mind is in a daze, just trying to think of a loving way
To say the things inside my heart. I know all of the USA are too.
So we just say we love you, in all the things you do.
We saw flowers, banners, crowds and many tears.
We saw many young and old giving your loving, thoughtful cheers.
Bless you all, as our country has been Blest throughout the years,
And God protect your country, from having to shed useless tears.
