Pay It Forward If You Can

Pay It Forward If You Can

A true gift comes from the heart without
any expectations,
wishing nothing in return, no thanks
or admiration.
It doesn't have to be monetary for a
gentle warm embrace,
could offer hope to the weary,
and place a smile on someone's face.
The things we remember most in life
are gestures along the way,
that others have made to help us through
life's challenges each day.
Remember the shoulders you've leaned
upon and pay it forward when you can,
this world could be a better place,
I believe that giving was 
God's greatest plan.
