Curing Lonely Hearts

kudos
to the woman
who reads
to shelter dogs
in her spare time

she’s uncovered
that caring for others
is the foolproof cure
for soothing
lonely hearts

Caring for others is the key to happiness. If we all knew this, or even tried it a few times, we would all know. Beautifully done.

I wish all the lonely people sitting at home feeling sorry for themselves would find the one passion that would light the fire in their heart.
