Helping Others Eliminates Sad

Self-serving people are ever so sad. Selfless people have hearts that are glad. When people are down and ask for advice, I tell them to help others, not just once or twice. For when things are awful, and horrible and bad. Helping others will help eliminate all kinds of sad. As you help a little one learn to read or to write, Your own weary woes quickly ease out of sight. When you are shoveling your neighbor’s walk, You do not have time to grumble, complain or squawk. When you are listening with all of your might, Your friend’s grateful smile shines with inner light. So the next time you feel sad or blue, This is what you truly must do for you. Find a young mother who needs a break. Watch her children for your very own sake. Find a neighbor who needs some errands run. Stay for coffee and cake. It will be fun. The generous heart, so loving and giving. Truly will make your life worth living
