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! Heidi Sands

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..
