In the spirit of this season, I decided to repost this oldie but goodie. In my opinion, it's what the season is all about. Enjoy.

My Imaginary Restaurant In my restaurant, I would make dishes that will feed the soul. It would be a place for the young and the old. All are welcome. The only require- ment is that you are part of the human race. On second thought there's a place for your pets as well. I will not turn away the poor, I have special seat for you. You will be treated like royalty here and your soul will be fed. Your seat will be adjacent to the rich. Everyone gets treated the same here. Help wanted, I'm looking for like minded people who don't mind working in a place such as this. I can't pay you for your services. Hopefully, you will be satisfied with " your act of kindness" as your pay. I got to go now, I have to make a big pot of "love".

Dear Alexis, your open-heart shines for all to see in this splendid poem just perfect for the Holiday season. The art of selflessness and the act of giving is beautifully expressed in this inspiring piece. I just adore your last line for a grand finale. Warmest wishes for a merry Christmas, my friend.. ~Susan

Good one. If only we could issue out kindness. Thanks for the visits to my page. I had an uncle and aunt that ran a restaurant in a coastal city of Georgia back a very long time ago. I remember my father saying that his brother told him to come down there and he would be able to find a job very easily and could live with them for a few weeks until he could get established. Daddy said he got down there and they were feeding the poor and very little paying business. I always wondered about it. SK

Glad to read this message of charity, kindness, and non-discrimination... I must have missed it the first time around. A perfect poem to read in this season of love and brotherhood/sisterhood. Blessings to you ~ John

A lovely place to dine. I certainly would like to work for you, but at my age I am to decrepit to carry the serving dishes! Yes, a good repost!
