David Smith Poet Didactic

It is not the size of your contribution that counts

It is not the size of your contribution that counts in this life,
But your willingness to contribute that counts in this life.

It is not how hard you try in this life that counts,
But the number of times you try in this life that counts.

It is not how much others are prepared to give that counts in this life,
It is how much you are prepared  to receive that counts in this life. 

It is not how many times you smile in this life that counts,
But how many times you make others cry in this life that counts.

Richard Lamoureux March 21, 2024 at 6:06 AM Wise words. Thanks for your kind visit. I am happy to hear you are doing well. David Smith March 21, 2024 at 11:26 AM Good to time to be retiring Richard. I look forward to your take on a perfect men's club or perhaps your other half could run with that one. Thank you for taking the time to read. Best regards David in NZ
