A few hours well spent....

A few hours well spent...

I've just done a favour for my daughter today,
Dropped off a writing desk, to a couple not far away.
So happy they were to receive this writing table,
To help with daughters drawing,to make her more able.
A sad face the father had, when relaying a story to me,
he couldn't pick it up, as his car wouldn't start you see.
I said I'll have a look, as I've worked on cars in the past,
Upon checking the vehicle, I said the cars problem won't last.
He said can you fix it, I would be so thankfully,
I said of course I can, it's only your battereee.
How can i repay, this kindness you've made,
A day out with my family, you have now definitely saved.
I said your happiness now,is all I can see,
if I were in the same boat,I'd hope someone would help me.

              For the last 4-5 years I love
              Doing things for other people
              I get a real kick out of helping.
              Prior to those years I was a
              very selfish human being...
              My grandson changed me..

              your poetry is very touching and brought tears to my eyes.....the tears came after reading your poem and then seeing your comment about how your grandson changed you. in never ceases to amaze me how much you love your children and grandchildren, and how you give so much credit to them, when you could take all of the credit for yourself. you are wonderful and the poem is a reminder that each and every day we should think of doing something for another :0)

                Now you've made me cry...
                Thank you Jane for that
                Beautiful comment...
                If you actually knew me
                As my family do, you would
                Know I never put my self
                In front... I really do have a
                Problem with self worth..
                Again thanks for those
                Lovely words...
