Analysis of Today
Take time today to see the invisible people--
OUR homeless and destitute
Take time today to listen to the silent cries of OUR hungry and forgotten children
Take time today to FEEL the pain of the poacher's snare as it entraps the limb, the soul, the ESSENCE of an endangered species
Take time today to smell the polluted muck and mire that WE have imposed upon GOD's clean, green earth
Take time today to hear the sorrowful moans of our mother's, whose children are being slaughtered in OUR streets....
Potential leaders of tomorrow
Take time today to touch the seemingly untouchable hand of one whose mind, body and soul is being ravaged by________
There but for the GRACE
Time is of THE ESSENCE
Time is slipping away
THE TIME IS NOW--- THE PRESENT
THE TIME IS NOW----TODAY
PLEASE.......
TAKE TIME
