Giving

Missing image

I've taken in those babies~
cause someone needed to.

I fed the homeless~
even gave them shoes.

I worked till my back broke~
came home straight to you.

I stitched up your face~
when he was through with you.

I took your confession~
granted you grace.


I served you coffee~
with a smile upon my face.

I drove you home~
while you were on a binge.

I gave you a hug~
when you simply needed a friend.

I took you off the street~
got you a scholarship.

I made you into a man~
you send me letters from a ship.

My life may not be simple

 nor is it complete,
I haven't finished my jobs
but I'm still standing on my feet.

I give to those who need it,
reach out with a hug
for I could have been you
if not for the man above.

Take some time and reach out
help your fellow man,
someday we'll meet in Heaven
where love never ends.

Author notes

I tried to write about every one.. Social Workers, husbands, Nurses, Foster Parents, Cab drivers, and Fathers you name it.

The basic point should be obvious.
Caring for one another..

    Every job can be done well or poorly, Every labourer can try very hard to excell at what he/she does, or can not care and just put in the time. We always should treat others the way we want to be treated ourselves. Lovely picture too.

    Wouldn't it be great if everyone had this type of heart? A heart that sees a need and acts on it without having to be asked, told or having any expectation for reward recognition. I like many of the points you made here. This could be about me, you or John Q Public. There ARE those who do things that "seem" to go unnoticed, but we know for a fact that nothing goes unnoticed. You did a great job here. I felt quite moved by your words Cat. Thank you for taking the time to enter the contest and good luck! I hope this gets lots of reads, but better yet, I hope it prompts people to act more.

    Sustenance & comfort for the journey. Indeed, you have encompassed so many with so few words, my Friend. Good luck in the contest, Sweetie. Wanda
