Joy In the Extra Mile

When someone feels alone, forlorn Like the world has left them to mourn The charming joys, the wonders born Rousing a gentle fate Inspired by gifts from hearts so pure Lovely dreams, feelings who endure The broken, worries so demure Gentle that cannot wait Struggles to go that extra mile For the beauty of a sweet smile Comforting spirits all the while With kindness to elate
