Uplifting

Make a difference in somebody's life
Touch a lonely soul as it silently cries
Be the one who lifts to let someone rise

Comfort the children who have no toys
Bring someone a gift of awesome joy
Touch a lonely soul as it silently cries

Listen to the cries of a poor blind boy
Be a friend who climbs mountain highs
Bring someone a gift of awesome joy

Help a man who cries as loved one dies
Let wisdom speak of a healing advice
Be a friend who climbs mountain highs

Rush to the scene when a disaster strikes
Lift your strength to incredible highs
Let wisdom speak of a healing advice

Shine a guiding light to keep hope alive
Make a difference in somebody's life
Lift your strength to incredible highs
Be the one who lifts to let someone rise

A poem so inspiring, giving a boost to others to do good by wiping tears and bringing smiles on dejected and gloomy faces. Apt for being a POTD

This is a nice poem Vijay. I'm writing for Russell again as he is still not allowed to use a computer yet. He is doing better yet, but is still in some pain. He wanted me here this morning as he was getting blood drawn and he doesn't like that. He can be such a baby at times. But I'm here to comfort my sweetheart. Well Russell told me to write, "Your poem is exceptional Vijay, I really loved hearing it read to me this morning. You have delighted me by your words my friend. Great work" Emma :)
