The Greatest Gift.

Goldfinch60



We all have so much of it in our lives,

Every moment of every day it comes to us.

Some are so mean with it

They just keep it for themselves,

But those of us who give it to others

Are so very kind and wonderful.

It is the greatest gift that we can give,

That we can give to others,

Because when we give our time

We are giving a portion of our life,

A portion of our life to others

That we will never get back.

          Amen!
          oh wise Poet,
          how simple, this world
          draped in that genius
          of your empathetic Awareness!

                So true dear Andy
                More than sympathy, the world needs empathy
                Humanity is lost and friendship is too expensive today
                All glued up on net, no soul free to have a tea
                Your words shall bring a new dawn

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you spilleronsheet, yes empathy is certainly needed in this world.

                  Andy
