Charity Starters

Charity starts at home don't we say? Be kind to your kith and kin come what may. A family's not only your safe haven Tis pals your very own roots Water these shoots with love devoid of hate So they bear you sweeter fruits. Maybe you'd say that's not so easy but perhaps that's coz you just too busy Or your clock just don't chime for quality family time? For if you can't make time for a letter or a hug Then let my poem give your conscience a gentle tug. And if this may sound like a preachy homily Deserves much more mention and affection the family If you can make time for so many other things some of them not even worthwhile Try discover the happiness family brings Just a tad modify that routine lifestyle. My words in crystal clear clarity sing compassion is likewise a charity Charity need not be for strangers only Find out who needs help in kindred and family Ties of kinship severe not Value the relations you've got Your siblings, cousins from your family tree and all else that you call family.:-x

This is a very deep and thought provoking write my friend. As we get older there is less time on the clock. God Bless. D.

- Yes, we should all experience the closeness and love from the day we were born and the rest of life with, nearest family .... but ... - Unfortunately, it is not always the case in families .... - Today we often talk about, "time" .... a day has 24 hours - enough time to care and love! - A very well written poem my friend. - Share your time and love! - Have a nice weekend. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
