If I Can
“If one treats those lost and in need with compassion, amazing things will start to happen.”
Quote - Poets own
If I can stop someone's anxiety Whilst we await safety from covid bane If I do my bit for humanity It won't be for gain or fame. If I can stop some sad tears from falling Tears of sorrow in days of emptiness Then I will have risen to my calling Bringing hope to loneliness. If I can unlock windows of one's mind To view rainbows in the sky after rain I'll believe when I leave the world behind My life hadn’t been lived in vain.

I have missed your poems my dear friend - I enjoy the topics you use and the style of writing, my thing all the way. This is cute, soothing, kind and an absolute pleasure to read. I'm back. Hugs and blessings dear Belle, hope you got my answer finally to your comforting words to Elias and I. You are ma belle amie. Jennifer.
