A Voice From Afar

Snow covered empty streets
Surrounded by cold winter air
A voice from afar brings kind words
Melting hurt, like ice disappearing
You never know when someone, anyone,
May reach out in these ways
You never know when your own words
May reach another these days
In lonely times, lifting smiles on faces
A voice from afar can be just as powerful
As a voice from some place nearby
Giving hope and inspiration…
To be, to love, to try!

Giving with a sincere and grateful heart unto others less fortunate can never be wrong! That little voice that tells us kindness is a great virtue, one should embrace, cultivate and act upon is correct! FAITH,TRUTH AND LOVE, are never to be ignored or denied if one wants blessing from God..
