Once there were two churches 

sitting side by side. 

One was very humble, 

the other was full of pride.

The prideful church 

had lots of people inside. 

Meanwhile,  the humble church 

had just a few coming to abide. 

One day, there came a man

lonely as he could be. 

He was homeless,  he was dirty,

and he was so, so hungry. 

He saw the prideful church, 

with many well-dressed people there

and asked them for a meal

and "do you have a few pounds to spare"?

But all he got in return was "get real"!

And their haughty, hateful stares.

Sp he went across the street

to the wee church of but a few.

They quickly noticed him

and asked "can we help you"?

"Yes" he replied,  somewhat desperately 

"I'm homeless,  without food, shelter or money".

"Oh, you poor man! Come in, here's a meal.

Sleep here at our church 

till your soul begins to heal.

Everything we have is yours. For free."

"Thank you" Jesus replied 

"for taking care of Me."
