When times are tough Be like a flame; shine enough It would be an unwise wade Allowing your star to fade. Donate without asking why Sense a grateful lifting of supply Always apply the common sense Place yourself in a sea of incense. The same as a gentle sparrow. With serene seas, paths were narrow. Accept the love-planted seeds bliss. fall short of the depths of the abyss. Written: May 17, 2023

Be like a flame in a dark world. What a lofty message. Share your wealth with the less privileged.... a great gesture of compassion. Beautifully written.
