FLOATING
Like embers smoke wrought;
Ashen faces turn to stone,
And songbirds silent gaze
Upon less fortunate hearts
.... As dreams drift by...

To be faithful and true, honest and good, that’s anyone’s mission in life if they could
But I want to be rich, famous, and a fantastic celebrity
Then I could share out my wealth with those less fortunate than me....

Our footsteps hasten us to this: 
the warmth of hearth, the welcome kiss.
For those less fortunate I pray
a home sweet home they'll find one day.

Don't let anyone 
with bad eyebrows give you life
advice - it ends badly.

I don't mind seeing my ex with
someone else - I usually donate
unused things to the less fortunate.

I wonder how many
calories I burn jumping
to wrong conclusions....

I believe inner beauty is loving family and 
Community; helping the less fortunate smiling and carefree.
Deep beauty is strong character coupled with a big heart!

For Rick Parise, thanks for the inspiration!!
I know it is too late for the contest!...

It is so big, and yet so small,
preoccupation with oneself.
If you are small you would be tall,
a poor man, yet desiring wealth.
Be satisfied with your own lot,
strive to better it, indeed,
and look to him less fortunate,
be grateful you don't have his needs....

Didn't have much growing up
Christmas was my magical time
People made it a special season

I'm remembering their kindness
my parents tried their very best
as neighbors gave us food and toys

It is my turn to give back to those
less fortunate during this magical time...

be grateful thou hast not his need....

Why should I give 
To the poor
To the less fortunate
Maybe because I have rent
A piece of
The sky
The  sea
The land
The mountain
Too long to share 
Maybe because I have taken
Some of 
The sunlight
The food
The water
The air
Too much to keep by myself 
Maybe I have a bigger share 
Than I'm deserved...

Caring for those less fortunate than ourselves
Hope for those in desperate need
All of us can play our part
Real tragedies in the world where people are left with nothing
It doesn’t have to be money that is given
Time taken to visit the elderly can brighten their day
YOU can make the difference

People say
Life is to be insured by
Insurance
Education and qualifications
Money and treasures
Medicine
We man finally find out that
Nothing can be totally insured
So during our life spans
Why not multiply our happiness
By sharing with others
Who are less fortunate
Why not upgrade our reputation
By doing good and avoid evil...

sunset Danny lion
my life is your life
given my joy full soul to the less fortunate.
your life is no life.
the dying smell of the Danny lions,cant be hidden.
your rainy cloud can not be blown away.
your smile is there with the wet gloss running down your cheeks
SMILE
your heart is mine , my life is yours
lets just say you need it more then me...

At long day’s end, our thoughts may stray
to where we long to wend our way- 
a peaceful place where we dismiss 
all things in life that are amiss,
and none are wont to cause dismay. 

Our footsteps hasten us to this: 
the warmth of hearth, the welcome kiss.
For those less fortunate I pray
a home sweet home they'll find one day....

We wish for money.

Expensive things with our honey.

We wish for good health.

Of course with lots of wealth.

Yet will our wishes ever come true?

If you had it would you know what to do?

Would it be enough to make you smile?

Or would it only last a while?

Think of what you are wishing for.
Think of those less fortunate, what it would be like to be poor....

My beloved count your blessings, 
Not your Sorrows
Be thankful for what you have 
And not what you borrow 
Be gracious and give even 
If it's just a little being selfish and fitting
Bless those less fortunate
Embrace no less those needy
Be encouraging and graceful 
Redeem your confession

Take a little love and put it in your smile
and let the sun shine through
Take a little hope and put it in your words
and live it in all you do
Take a little time and put it in your heart
and give it to those less fortunate then you
Take a little dream and put it in your life
and it will come true

Take a little love and put it in your smile
and it will come back to you...

Keep them busy, busy, busy
busy as a bee!

Let them train a dog
Rent him out to the neighbors-hard labor
Sports-any kind with lots of running/sweating

challenge them to write poetry, paint a picture or a barn.
Muriels, graffiti what ever their flavor-within reason
Encourage them to help other children that are less fortunate

Let me know, what you think!
Will it work?...

A midnight full of potential that lets me down without notice.
I've touched eternity without admission in hopes of a reprieve from a destiny that eluded me.
A shade of blue that masks suicide from within.
Love couldn't save her from herself. Love won't save me.
I purchased a romance that was out of my price range.
Destiny as it seems holds a grudge against those less fortunate....

Remember that with a collective heart, you can connect to GOD

gather your quills, gather your words 
ink deep inside the well of your hearts 
choose phrases that resound with your soul 
Be a billboard for the broken, lonely and lost 
Advertise God's Kingdom 
with the workings of your hands 
Share your riches with those less fortunate 
and always say, thankyou.

Dear Lord,
For the bountiful harvest
and your sustenance this past year,
I give thanks.
Bless those this day
less fortunate than I.
I ask Lord, that on this day
each might have a good meal,
a warm bed, and a friend.
And through whatever kind act
I may provide, that they would know,
It's through your love
that these things happen.
Not because I'm a good person,
but your humble servant.
Amen...

Some live their lives helping others
The less fortunate, we defend
Providing food, shelter, clothing & jobs
Hoping they’re better off in the end

Others live inconsiderate lives
Humane is not how they feel
They act as if they’re all that matters
In this age… they better get real

‘The melting pot of the world’
People coming from lands quite far
Feeding & caring for others
America is who we are...
