I'd Give It Away

Poem about what I would with a million dollars.

If I had a million dollars, what would I do with it?

I’d give it away, to the lost refugees of The Congo, starved, no place to go, no place to call home.

I’d give it away, to the children of the world, Operation Smile, with facial deformities.

I’d give it away, to animal shelters, treating abused and strays, promoting life-long adoptions.

I’d give it away, to the Invisible Children of Uganda, sold as sex slaves, or murdered outright.

I’d give it away, to that shelter down the street where I never stop to help, avoiding the sight.

I’d give it away, to the soldiers and their families, Wounded Warriors, to rebuild what was lost.

I’d give it away, to education programs , helping our own children to have a better chance.

What would I do if I had a million dollars?  I’d give it away, every dime, without a second thought.

For there is nothing in the world that I need so much as they, so yes, I’d give it away.
