When people are at their lowest,
WORDS
can be the most precious gift
that uplifts their soul
Extending one’s self
Showing compassion and love
Magic in our hands
To help a stranger
Comes from deep within our hearts
Sharing love and light
Do something great now
Lend a helping hand to all
Positivity
Helping is a multiplying force. It’s a contagious virus that will compel one to infect others with it. There are no words to describe that sense of self satisfaction from aiding someone whether it’s asked for or unsolicited. It could be a grandiose gesture or a small deed, but the feeling you get from assisting someone is very rewarding. And the recipient has an air of deep gratitude; their appreciation is truly genuine because it comes from within. Some may even be inspired to do the same for a family member, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger. They in turn may render assistance for others as well. That’s the multiplying effect. It doesn’t take much to help someone, you just need to be willing to take the first step and spread some positivity. So what are you waiting for, do some good because helping is truly a multiplying force.
Although my friend has long passed, for some reason I was thinking about him today and wished that my children could’ve met him. I wrote a poem about him that best describes what he meant to me.
We were young and so new
when we started work at the store,
learning the business fast
was really a chore
We were clumsy, awkward,
and a little bit naive,
but you put your faith in us
and made us believe
In time we grew smart
with each passing day,
you lent us your wisdom
through the stories you say
In you we saw a role model
with all the qualities of the heart,
you were generous, kind, humorous, helpful
to all of us from the start
Though you left us way too early
your traits in us were sown
Let one message come to mind
and let it be known
We wish you the best in Heaven
in whatever you do,
We give you our love
and will surely miss you
So here is our gift,
so special, so true,
It symbolizes our love
to a friend we found in you.
