Love Unconditional

Missing image

Many times my path has crossed with
a man in dire need; I would offer
a helping hand.
Yet it never fails an age old question:
"When a man is down and out
He needs a helping hand.
Why is there always a foot sticking out?"
So in my pride I ask; Son
is this all you need?
My pride grows, shines when I honor
my fellowman, being all I can be.
Knowing one day, someone will
remember my face or maybe even me.
Life goes on day after day
and the world is still in need.
My heart opens to the hungry,
homeless, abused children
because the didn't ask to be.
Born to wars, poverty, sickness,
so I feel good doing
what I can; showing my 

unconditional love
to thee.

Prompt is quote:
"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is (merely) to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate. I think it is above all to matter, to count, to stand for something. To have it make some difference that you lived at all"....Leo Rosten

"When a man is down and out, needs a helping hand...
why is there always a foot sticking out?"...ennovy

    very well thought out mom. This made me think of what is the purpose of living in a universe that shares one's existence with everyone and everything. we may be tripped up but its up to us to get up. Will we? or will we stay down with negative thoughts? Good one
