I once remember…wasn’t really that long ago <br />Church doors…that were left unlocked. <br />Now one has to go around back to enter <br />And go to the door and knock. <br /> <br />The offering plates were always left unattended <br />No worries if someone needed a dime or two. <br />Just people who needed to be with God <br />That’s all of what… as a child I once knew. <br /> <br />Less churches on the corners… it seems <br />Less money raised… to help those in need. <br />Less community participation <br />Taking in…all of those to feed. <br /> <br />Everyone pretty much today stays to themselves <br />Afraid of getting… too involved. <br />I’m afraid if this kind of attitude continues <br />There will be less and less of our earths problems solved. <br /> <br />Unlock more than those church doors please! <br />Open up your hearts. <br />Try to feel the love of Christ within you <br />That is where mankind…first needs to start. <br /> <br />By: Linda Winchell <br />Copyright: 2009<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unlock-the-doors/
