outside the subway – v2

a row of them
those asking for money
cups in outstretched hands
reaching for us, calling,
wanting to give
but wondering if
the cash I try to give them
will buy drugs somehow.
a challenge for us
trying to be like Jesus
wondering what He would do
and what His call is to us
do we give to all of them
what do we give
do we give until we have nothing
until we are like them
