My Time Here

I am willing to help
my family and friends
in sickness or hardship
again and again

some will not ask
but I see the need
my hands and heart
doing good deeds

I ask for nothing
I come with love
a simple thank you
or maybe a hug

life can be hard
we do not know
the journey before us
our life in tow

any given day
things can change
as a sunny sky
can darken with rain

I can relate to this so much in my current family situation - the final two stanzas are so so true - an excellent pen:-) hugs Jan xx
