Honor your soul’s needs
Acknowledge your feelings
Provide play daily
Practice helpfulness
You deserve joy
Only when thy spirits dance in bright dreams,
Shall thy great team flourish by living streams!
'Tis our heart's aim to labor with steadfast
Spirit; the goal, we are nearing it.
Firstly, we aim to do earnest teamwork.
Then give great ideas in modern, new birth.
Everyone there needs to share energy.
To keep thriving in mutual synergy.
Only when you're all dreamily alive.
Will your great team 'Walking Live' truly thrive.
Members know they must always remain clear.
And never forget to carry oak gear.
One day or another, they'll be running.
In the meantime, they need to be stunning.
Their bronze eyes, symbolically summarized.
Knowing now what they've always theorized.
That honest kindness,
As well as helpfulness,
Determine their readiness,
To survive on celestial blue-green marbles seamlessly!
We seek to join our hands in earnest toil,
Then breathe great thoughts into this fruitful soil.
That simple truth and grace,
With mutual succour in this place,
Doth provide readiness with goals,
To dwell where azure groves and emerald balls roll,
Walking live!
There is fullness in emptiness from self
While cravings of ego are negated
Freeing us against our boastfulness-shelf
Since bliss makes drenched heart remain elated.
With victory* for reaching-out terrain
Fullness is gained as emptiness from pride
Subdues despair of futility-pain
Caused by covetousness that does deride.
Keeping spirit toward gratitude light
Midst sharing, giving, caring, loving-glow
Fullness blooms in emptiness from greed’s blight
For God grants joy along helpfulness-flow.
Let us continue in our kindness’ spree
Blest emptiness yields good-works’ fullness glee.
*1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I am grateful knowing one doesn’t need to live in Hawaii
to embrace the Aloha Spirit
It can help you overcome your anger, bitterness and strife
“Aloha” means harmony, helpfulness and unity…
and it is much more than a greeting…
It is a way of life.

nice kind helpful sweet
put these four words on repeat
use them every single day
making hatred go away
niceness will make someone smile
its something going out of style
being kind is very good
spread it through your neighborhood
helpfulness is a word
that should be done--just not heard
sweetness can bring around
someone sad and really down
don't let these words disappear
the negativity and fear
that we face can be scary
but our actions will be clearly
the only we can end
the horrible shape our world is in

It has been too long a while
Since helpfulness was in full style
We need to bring it back again'
Like it used to be back when
Strangers used to help each other
Not like now--it's such a bother
To lend a hand to those in need
We need to replant the seed
Of sharing into the ground
Helping it grow all around
It doesn't need to be a hassle
As this world spins in a circle
Let's boomerang some love back in
If everybody took a minute
To look deep inside themselves
And see someone who needs help
Reaching out a caring hand
Is a gesture that's so grand
And might change a life for good
This is something we all should
Try and accomplish every day
Soon a chain of love will sway
With kindness in every link
Lets all get it to the brink
Of heaviness it can handle
Love is not a crime or scandal
So let's use it all we can
Spread happiness throughout the land
A long time ago, under the sea
Born was a very squishy
Little baby sponge so cute
Bringing happiness You can't dispute
Eyes that are so big and bright
With love that grabs you heart so tight
A laughter that is contagious
His antics can be outrageous
Blowing bubbles that are great
To work he is never late
A friend that is rare and true
Who will never leave you blue
Always having lots of fun
Leaving joy to everyone
"Super"bob is always there
With helpfulness to show he cares
A divine crown was born in a simple stable;
As a fond blessing for all earthlings.
He did not yearn for a royal label;
But enlightened all people with his wise sayings.
He will direct our lives in the right paths;
Just like the star which directed the three kings towards his manger.
The Lord wants us to be Santas of kindness, joy and helpfulness;
Just like how he is the Santa of our lives!
When we're young we are told
Never put your dreams on hold
Rise above and you can be
Anything, set your heart free
But I've learned there's an action
That can give you satisfaction
It's free and doesn't cost a lot
Look inside your loving heart
Finding kindness you can spread
Don't hate causing others dread
Bullying abuse racism
Violence and discrimination
Are not welcome anywhere
Instead use kindness love and care
Helpfulness to those in need
A generous act indeed
Remember when finding your place
On this earth leave a trace
Of cheerfulness all around
In every step on this earth's ground
