It’s not so important how long that we live,
But rather the value of what we can give.
Sometimes just a gesture or even a smile
Can let someone know that they’re valued, worthwhile.
It’s amazing the impact our words can convey,
The way that we act and the things that we say.
The life that we’re given is more than a test.
Finding ways to bless others is our daily quest.
“It’s more blessed to give than it is to receive,”
Is a pathway to joy if we dare to believe.
Each life is a gift that was given to share,
To help out a neighbor in need of our care.
As we reach out to others and kindness embrace,
We’re sharing God’s love and His mercy and grace.
I received and enjoyed your poem “Life”. It came through fine on my new websight.
Thanks.
I try to do this every day. It was easier when I worked and had many customer’s at our local Post Office. I retired last year, and miss the human contact fiercely. I have joined a local church as the small church I attended lost their pastor and could not find a replacement. I am seeking chances to volunteer at a nursing home, etc. I saw a request for volunteers for a Hospice organization. I feel that I have been with people who were dying and have been an encouragement to them as they were dying. My husband thi is I would not be able to stand it because I would get too attached.
