The Extra Mile Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Charles Messina, Date written: 07/24/2023

Life's slings and arrows, tough to bear. Oh, it's quite a cruel world out there. The needy are suffering; it's not fair. If I could help them all, I would. Helping desperate people out. Is what kindness is all about. Infinitely rewarding, no doubt. It surely makes one feel good! I sometimes go the extra mile. To make their day worthwhile. Seeing my efforts bring a smile... Puts me in a very good mood!
