Setting Them Free

To become a better human being my philosophy Spearheaded by my father from when I was young Who believed in giving back to society. A Doctor by profession who spent his Sunday in running a free clinic to heal the sick. I helped him stick labels and markers on his mixture bottles and grind the tablets for free. My perception in life is even though a mere human being I can change a few lives, my father taught me The underprivileged who need free education and humanity . Afraid to lag behind in this race We forget where we are going and what we run after. Often not being satisfied at where we are. I live by my own making and expectations and never by the expectation of others. Another line to cross, I have my final goals cut out When I look in the mirror I should like what I see And it brings a smile to my face automatically Another step closer to help underprivileged children to read and write I would agree. For education can make them dream give them wings and set them free. Dated- 17.11.2020.

Carol! This is worthy of a number 1 spot in my view! such lofty ideals! There is no currency like nobility! It enriches others but can make you financially poor!
