Something Bigger Than Myself

Mommy's healing hands on her sick child Reassuring words in the middle of the night A hot meal for the homeless, eighteen below zero Love given to others asking for nothing in return Its understood, for the greater good Husband and wife making sacrifices, for the sake of the marriage Take my coat, I have many in my closet My neighbor needs it, he can have it I have a few bucks, don't worry about it Sleep here until you get back on your feet Its understood for the greater good Take my kidney I have two Mom and Dad working hard, sharing love, setting an example Tell me friend, how are you I have the time, what do you need Grandad feeding his bride, she can't ask Its understood, for the greater good When we bless others, it blesses us too God created us, to serve others Words cannot describe the power of love given away When we show others we care And that they matter Once again Something Bigger Than Myself Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier 1/28/19
