Analysis of Poverty
Some live in poverty all day;
The kind that can be seen
For some it's always been that way
But they aren't sad or mean.
They have their faith and family
To see them through all things,
And praise the Lord each day they see
More blessings that He brings.
Some others live in poverty,
The kind not visible.
They do not have the faith to see
Their lives as being full.
The poverty of faith is worse
Because it is by choice.
They only need some prayers and verse
To "hear" God's still small voice!
