The Lives We Touch

Would you help
someone in need,
if you find your
paths do cross? 
Would you step on by
or help them up....
and listen to their loss? 
Though we know not
what lies ahead,
in the days of
dark to come...
While some go hungry,
some count coins,
smiling at the sum... 
You best stay true
to love and luck,
and all things
likewise such -
We're measured not
by fame and wealth,
but by the lives we touch.....
