Failure in the family

You may think of giving food to the ones who are hungry
Or give ten percent of your money to an orphanage
You may clothe the naked with unwanted clothes
Or give shelter to the homeless in the street

But if you fail to take care of your own
Your charity will be refused
Because no amount of success can compensate for the failure in the family

You may respond to a crisis with all that you've got
Or donate your own blood to the very last drop
You may have prayed for the lame to walk again
Or bring salvation to the ends of the earth

But if you fail to take care of your own
Your charity will be refused
Because no amount of success can compensate for the failure in the family
