Pay It Forward

in our world of abundance
we have everything we need
and so much more

we sit back in gratitude
while our tummies are full
our homes are warm
our children are safe
and hearts are free from pain

how do we give back
how do we pay forward
and generate more
of this wealth around the world

we each have our ways and skills
our circles of influence
love, gratitude and abundance
exponentially to share

I always say we are all gifted, it is up to us to find our gifts and share them with others. This poem expresses this sentiment very well, Line.
