Something Bigger Than Myself

my heart fills with compassion
when I can help someone in need
I shift my mojo into overdrive
and get creative juices flowing

everyone deserves a break
especially when down on their luck
making it my mission to boost them
propelled to launch their dreams

Society would be better off if everyone lent a hand to the downtrodden when possible, Line. Enjoyed your poem. Best wishes, Carolyn

Good for you!! (I've been burned so many times, that I'm just very wary of these 'opportunities' now). It's a season of generosity and giving, and big hearts. :) gw

I hear you. Been there!!! Sometimes we need to back off and take a breather till we're able to "conveniently forget" being burned... Of course we don't need to be helping the same people who don't deserve or even appreciate... Wish it was easier to recognize parasites.
