Being a Light To Others

In the hospital very sick not very fine
                             
you called each morning at nine
                                     
you wanted to see if I was fine
                                       
your loving words were the right line.
 
Needing a ride because you could not see
                        
I would be over faster than a bee
                                    
off to shop~lunch and tea
                                              
I would get you in the door with your blue key.
 
Flowers you did bring
                                                    
beautiful and looking like spring
                                      
you made me so happy~I wanted to sing
                        
I wish I could give you something.
 
Be a light
                                                                      
let your life shine bright
                                                
others are hurting both day~night
                                  
be their very special knight.

Tablets and medicines aren't always the answer. Human kindness can not only compliment them but can substitute them too. Cheers - Gary
