Sharing and Caring

Sometime's it's very hard to write
what isn't in your heart
You really can't just make things up
it's truly not your part

Look around you every day
there's turmoil and dispair
There's also love and happiness
enough that you can share

Now reach across and help someone
with voice or with your hand
Add a smile or friendly nod
they're sure to understand

One day they may, return the same
or pass it on somewhere
In crisis or in heartache
when sadness fills the air

So light the fire inside someone
they'll pass it down the line
You'll see that smiles are everywhere
the day will turn out fine.....
