Giving Some of Yourselves

Giving some of yourselves
for the right cause,
will be immeasurably meaningful
to your spirits longing to be helpful...

There's a great consolation
in knowing that
every little joy
you bring...means
a lot to somebody;
there are many tasks
that you can undertake,
however difficult
they may be for you; don't
watch and wait
for a disaster to happen 
to come to their aid...
prevent it by paying it
more attention... 

Giving some of yourselves
for alleviating someone's pain
is a small contribution
out of the goodness 
of your generous hearts:
that grieve when tragedy strikes,
but rejoice when souls are spared;
there's so much you can do to help....
