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 Poem of the Day on 8-31-2017 August 29, 2017

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 :)
