I have eyes that I can see <br />The work that can be done by me. <br />I have ears that enable me to hear <br />The voices of those who live in fear. <br /> <br />I have lips that I might speak <br />Words of encouragement to all who seek. <br />I have an alert mind that I might know <br />When to help the needy that need me so. <br /> <br />I have hands that I am able to do <br />Some meager, but worthy task for you. <br />I have the empathy and sincerity to pray <br />For the impoverished people everyday. <br /> <br />I have this one thing, all else above, <br />A compassionate heart that I may love.<br /><br />Joseph T.
