So Rewarding

WriteBeLight

Being rewarded,

For a good job done.

A pat on the back,

Would really help some.

 

The best rewards,

Come in cash?

One might argue,

A little with that.

 

Say the brakes,

Failed on your car.

Or, the washer,

Won’t spin anymore.

 

A trade between two,

Might be in order.

You scratch my back,

And, I’ll scratch yours.

 

One fixes the washer,

The other the brakes.

A rewarding deal,

These two did make.

 

Or, when someone,

Needs your help,

When grocery shopping,

For yourself.

 

Maybe you could,

Help with their list.

While getting your things,

A rewarding gift.

 

Not that you’d,

Do all for free.

Pay for their stuff,

With their money.

 

The rewards you get,

You two to share,

You helped them out,

They have time to spare.

 

So, while you were gone,

They did the dishes.

Multi-tasking between two,

Granted each other’s wishes.

 

In the end,

The best like no other.

Rewarding feeling inside,

When you helped one another.

    So true that being on hand to help when needed is so satisfying. Good read.

      Thanks Fay. I like helping out when I can. Your comment is very rewarding 🙂

    • Michael Edwards

      Must admit I do get a kick when I get a rewarding smile having done a favour even if it's standing to one side to allow someone to pass. This is spot on as always.

      • WriteBeLight

        Me too. Thanks Michael!

      • Goldfinch60

        So very true, to swap skills instead of payment is worth so much more for ones peace of mind.

        • WriteBeLight

          That is the best when you can barter! I agree. Thanks Goldfinch!

              Very good poem! It is a rewarding feeling to help others and hopefully we're not just doing it on the holidays! But at home it is great when you do something "just because".

              • WriteBeLight

                Yes. We should try everyday to help out when we can. I agree Christina and thanks!
