Listen to poem:

In their wake

Perpetually sharring in others' happiness, mine is continuously doubled
Loving has given life comfort to me and comforted many lives troubled
Show ten times the compassion of all bad hands you've been delt
And you'll find yourself with a glass full of all the ice that you melt
By arising each day intent on giving more to those around you than what you ever intend to take
Your heart will be filled with more joy; then everyone who can't see what they've left in their wake

For me... I truly look at every day as an opportunity to meet someone.I've never known. To give friendship to someone who didn't expect it. To leave the world a better place then how I found it... until the next day.... :) A.S.
