Good Deeds

Good Deeds are so precious They are wonderful things All are filled with compassion Oh!...the happiness they bring! They can not be corrupted You can't buy them with cash They are gifts...they are blessings And they come in a flash! Good Deeds have a Voice And they whisper so clear Of great tragedies, deep poverty Things wrapped up in fear! They tell of the darkness; Deep sorrows - fierce pains They will whisper of wishes That have turned into shame Some tell of the hopeless Knowing not what to do They don't realize they are waiting For someone like you When desperate times...Oh! Destructions...they come! Good Deeds with compassion Will bring hope to some A Good Deed can be all That it takes at times They will help others turn From the dark to sunshine! Do keep an ear open Keep an eye open too; They may tell of a Good Deed That is waiting for you! How sweet are the feelings That comes from Good Deeds As you bless someone else By fulfilling their needs Good Deeds are quite precious Very powerful things... They are filled with compassion See? The hope that they bring?

Neva, I am impressed by your writings. I think your train of thought for each one was very entertaining. One of those I read actually pertained to the sorrow I feel for a dear loved one. Thanks for the poetry, it is great. Sincerely, George.
