A Good Deed Well Done

Those good deeds can be done by all, By young or old, by short or tall. A smile may be the very thing That makes a shriven heart to sing. A tender hearted, richer man Who writes a check because he can Is no more blessed than is the one Whom a much smaller deed has done. An arm to help across the street, A meal for homeless man to eat. His faith in humankind restore With food for lost dog at your door. “The poor is with us”, Jesus said, “In need of food, a home, a bed.” You will find there's nothing to it. Just see a need and then go do it.

Congratulations, Joyce, on your Honorable Mention in my contest. I always judge them blind, without knowing who the authors are. So, when I come here to see who won, I get a wonderful surprise. It is so nice to see you here among the winners. Thank you for supporting my contest...and for your patience in waiting for the results. Lovingly, Dane Ann
