Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Written July 25, 2023
For Contest, “The Extra Mile”
Sponsor, Charles Messina

Our Extra Mile

We watch them try, to no avail
It seems somehow they always fail
Perhaps to help, we should prevail.

Our extra mile's worthwhile

A phone call may their spirits lift
Or, visit with a dinner gift
To help unhappiness to shift

Suggestions may compile

To help weed out the good from bad
Those things that make them very sad
Embracing those for which they're glad

Our extra mile ... their smile!
