Poem by Roxely Castro Hernández

Here's a poem by an 11th grade student Roxely Castro Hernández from Honduras

I Was Hungry and He Feeds Me

I was hungry, and you formed a hunger club.

Thank you.

I was homeless, and you preached to me of shelter in
the love of God.

You seem so holy and so close to God.

But I´m still very hungry, lonely and cold; I am still in
pain.

I wish you had taken me home.

I was lonely, and you left me alone to pray for me.

You seem so holy, so close to God,
But I’m still very hungry, lonely and cold.

I’m still in pain.
Does it matter?

When the burdens seem too hard, in Him I find help
and comfort,

Let His angels be your guard.
This is my testimony.
