12-20-13 You Have Done it Unto Me (A Villanelle based on Matthew 25:40)

You have done it unto me

With those you help and those you shun.

I'm all around you now, you see.

The halt, the lame, the yearning free;

To those you give, to those with none,

You have done it unto me.

The hungry soul on bended knee,

The sick girl, the imprisoned son;

I'm all around you now, you see.

The neighbor with impassioned plea,

To strangers who have come undone,

You have done it unto me.

The one with whom you don't agree,

The mean old man whose race is run,

I'm all around you now, you see.

Look everywhere, and there I'll be.

The things you do to everyone

You have done it unto me;

I'm all around you now, you see.
