Sharing the Love

Sharing is Caring

Sharing the Love

There is more loving each other

Then volunteering and

patting ourselves on the back

There is more to kindness

Then, buying a meal for

A homeless man and

Posting it to Social Media

There is more to helping our brothers and sisters

Then, only hoping for the accolades

*

If you can not buy a meal for someone

Of another race or

If cannot help a homeless person

Because of their gender or

You can not volunteer

Because of any prejudice or

You make of an elderly person

Who has lost their memories or

You make fun of someone for

Their learning disabilities

Then you are only hurting yourself

And denying yourself love

*

For it is when we truly give of

Ourselves that we are blessed

With good fortune

For it is when we help those less fortunate

Then we can receive

The healing our souls desire

It is when we share kindness

With our fellow humans that we

Can be at such peace

Whether they are

Young or old

Black or white

Whether they have

Learning disabilities or

Physical disabilities

A little kindness

Can go a long way

So share the love

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Amen to that my Vocal sistren. That is why I don't really social media much. We all need too much validation for nonsensical things. True words here.

  • Everyone deserves kindness regardless of their circumstances and we should be kind without expecting anything in return. Loved your poem!

  • Manisha Dhalani2 years ago

    This poem needs to be out there - the world needs to be reminded of such kindness at all times. Thank you for writing this!

    Kindness given without reservation is what it's all about!

    love and sympathy are a like a coin of two sides

  • Cathy holmes2 years ago

    I agree. Kindness should be given from genuine concern and empathy, not for for likes on SM.
