Why We're Here

Distant bells
chime with purpose
calling all
to congregate.
To meet as one,
to others bless,
far beyond the garden gate.

To give in love,
our special gifts
granted at our birth --
to those in need
a helping hand,
a crust of bread,
a thought, a word, a deed.

What other
purpose have we?
Why is it that we're here,
if not to share
what's ours for giving?
To cry out loud,
"There still are some who care!"
