An Advocate
by Denny Lancaster


We sense pain from those who bear,
yet have not lived in a body so fair,
and in our heart we try to show care.

If we could take our possessions,
give to a worthy cause to bear,
would this act show that we care?

Then we think an effort so small,
compared to wealthy men and women,
would not  truly help very much at all.

Alas, a voice deep within us did say,
each of us can make a difference,
just take time to do something today.

But with so many needs in the world,
which ones should we choose,
some needs will win, others will loose.

And then the "voice" spoke again,
a vivid picture of a dear friend,
this is where you should begin.

Be an advocate for a dear friend,
champion their cause with your heart,
and in their quest, never to depart.
