The Good Samaritan

More about The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan, a tale renowned,
Of kindness and compassion, so profound,
A story from days of old, still rings true,
With a message that's relevant anew.
On a dusty road, a traveler lay,
Beaten and robbed, in pain he lay,
Ignored by a priest, passed by a Levite,
But help was near, in the form of a light.
A Samaritan man, of different race,
Stopped to help, with grace and pace,
He tended wounds, with oil and wine,
Provided care, with love divine.
He lifted the injured, put him on his own beast,
Took him to an inn, paid for his feast,
Provided for his needs, without delay,
And promised more upon his way.
He did not ask for creed or kin,
Or question how the trouble began,
He simply saw a fellow in need,
And acted with kindness, indeed.
The Good Samaritan's example shines bright,
A beacon of compassion in the night,
Teaching us to look beyond our own,
To care for others, even if unknown.
To lend a hand, without asking why,
To see a neighbor in every passerby,
To offer love and aid, with open heart,
To be the Good Samaritan, playing our part.
For in this world, with all its strife,
We need the Good Samaritan in our life,
To bridge divides, to heal the pain,
To spread kindness, like gentle rain.
