Learning How To Give

This windfall came from out of the blue I knew I could well spend it But then the more I thought it through I thought perhaps I'd lend it So I was walking through my town And stopped in for a bite When on my way to go sit down Something caught my sight There on the counter sat a jar With a note taped to it's side Said "they really need a car So they can take a ride To the hospital in the city To see their little girl Who used to be so pretty Now she hasn't so much as a curl" It touched my heart to hear this tale A child with cancer spread I knew I'd help them without fail To get to their child's sick bed After all it's only money I thought I needed to be kind So before noon their car was bought And them I went to find They cried with relief and thanked me so I told them not to worry I gave them the keys and told them "go You really need to hurry" Well,long story short,the little one made it She now is in remission As for their friendship,I wouldn't trade it And I don't want recognition They said I was an earth angel here And to them I was the best As I wiped away a single tear I said I'm the one who's blessed ** for contest "I Helped The Needy" sponsored by Carol Brown
