Grocery Shopping

How can we show others, help them understand? By doing loving things to help our fellowman? Letting love flow through us would be a good start. We should all let it flow through us, just do our part. There are many ways to help wherever we go, By helping a neighbor, we see shoveling snow. We can help someone get groceries to their car. They’ll say, “but I’m at the end,” respond, “it’s not far.” Help a neighbor find their dog, they said it got out. Sharing the burden will help, it’s what loves about. When we see a mother with kids and a cart, We can offer to return it, say it from our heart. If we are willing to pitch in and give a hand, Not perform miracles, just do the things we can. It need not be really big and surely not grand, Showing Love in little ways helps them understand.

Bill Bill Bill. Hi. What a wonderful world it would be if all thought in this manner. Some people don't see or hear others. Always is it the words that matter in an entry but I have to say your attached image says it all. I love imagery with poetry. Once again you prove to be the humanitarian. You leave us with a powerful question of are we willing to give a hand... Peace and Blessings always to you and Sara. Have a beautiful night, (smile)

I'm happy I finally learned how to put images with some of my poems. I do agree with you, the pictures help people understand the poetry. Well, tomorrow is the last day of October, it flew by. Smiles ~ Blessings my dear friend. Bill

It would be shameful not to help our neighbor, whoever that person is. Great advice. Blessings.

Dear Bill, i absolutely love how your philanthropic mind weaves words and pass on messages in such poetic manner! You are right just a little gesture, kindness can make someones day, sometimes i feel like making someone smile through just a comment on their poems is also a generous deed, because we are giving wholeheartedly, and sincerely, and thats what matters, theres so much in this world, that keeps dragging us down, so in a weak world, only a strong soul can be kind and and forgiving: fave

I agree with you, Empress, comments that are uplifting are a show of love and caring for others. Sometimes the gestures are mental (thoughts about and for others) or spiritual (prayers and blessings to others) instead of just physical (actual physically helping others). All allow love to flow through us to help our world heal from the abundance of hate that pulsates in our existence. Thank you, my dear and kind friend for the light you share with us. Hugs, Bill

Great message my friend and such a simple and important action that everyone should adhere too, sadly not everyone is kind.. You always inspire through your poems with your wise words and advice.. and as always they are done perfectly to the form.. as this one flows so well..

Dear Bill, you've really shown here how true lil acts of kindness work and how precious they are! This world definitely needs more compassion and empathy, we are all humans and we needn't perform miracles to spread love.. It's just the small things that contribute to the goodness of this world on a cosmic level.. We need to start making efforts step by step.. And show support for each other to keep the flame of humanity ignited. Absolutely love this poem so much! As always, a brilliant write :)

Love it, so many ways to show others love in a world in chaos, that they might see there is something different within you than the world: )
