Inspiration

I need to write a poem;
That gives the reader Inspiration,
A poem of encouragement,
Not one of discrimination.

Uplifting words of comfort
To all, whatever colour or creed
Every human being receiving assistance,
In their time of need.

Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
That is always there.
Find beauty in little things,
Found everywhere,

An exchange of smiles,
Will brighten the darkest of days
It may not change the situation
But help to keep your fears at bay.

The gentle touch of someone.
Who understands your plight,
A nod, wink or firm handshake,
Confirmation things will be alright,

Riches do not bring happiness,
There is no healthy comfort in Gold
Money spent unwisely
It can make you greedy and cold.

People who see beauty everywhere they look,
They are the richest by far.
They can express their emotions in books,
Their vision is well up to par.

Chef's, Artists and Poets, too,
Display their talents,
And share them with you
It is an artist's dream and desire
Their artistic efforts
Have inspired.
