Beyond You

Can there be more joy

in heaven or earth 

than to ease the pain

of a quaking heart,

to brush a smile on an innocent face

that might not learn how to laugh.


Help the dying, the broken, the wounded, the sick

with a word, with an act, show you care.

Be committed to kindness, committed to love,

giving to others, yourself to share.
