Feed the Need, by Leslie Wells

The air is crisp

the branches nearly bare

but you can still find apples here and there

 

 

Can you believe

people still live on the street?

 

It doesn’t seem right

when we have so much

 

On things we rely

sort of like a crutch

 

To get more and more

is what we’ve been taught

 

 take only what we need

 to learn, we ought

 

I like the idea of planting a row

to toil and seed

and then let it go!

 

Call Faith Feeds

they’ll take it away

 

then give your extra

to those who can’t pay

 

We’ve got a solution

not everything is store bought

 

providing fresh food

that would otherwise rot

 

Believe there’s an answer

we are here to serve

 

No one should go hungry

for food they deserve.
