Some...Others

Some people starve to feel pretty
Others starve to feed their kid

Some can't walk because they're handicapped
Others can't walk because they're drunk

Some people are enraged because society has turned it's back on them
Others are enraged because Daddy bought them the wrong Land Rover

Some run every morning to keep from getting love handles
Others run every morning to keep from getting beaten up

Some people lose their spouse to tragedy
Others lose their spouse to adultery

Some babies are neglected because they were born in the wrong country
Others are neglected because the parents miss their old life

Some kids are in daycare all day because the mom has to work
Others are in daycare all day because the mom has to work to feel important

Some girls are raped because the world can be cruel
Others are raped because they got too high to notice it

Some people dream of a bigger place to live so their kids don't have to sleep in the living room
Others dream of a bigger place to live so they'll feel rich

Some pray for a popular boyfriend or girlfriend
Others pray for a friend

Some are homeless because they're crazy
Others are homeless because they're lazy

Some people cry because they aren't pregnant
Others cry because they are

"But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness." 2 Peter 3:13

Looking forward is all we can do.
