Lord Make Me Like Water To Quench The Thirst Of The Poor. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

I wish to be like the water
that carries ships and boats
on its way to the human beings.

I want to bring goods to the poor.

I want to make the roots of the trees
wet and help the trees to carry fruits
that the poor on the banks will pluck
and eat filling their poor stomachs.

I want to live for the poor to feed them,
educate them, clothe them and love them.

Lord make like water.
help me to flow and flow to the poor.

Give me little waves that will smile
when I reach to touch the feet of the poor.

Lord make me like water
to quench the thirst of the poor.
