Giving Time Poem by Stephen Katona
Giving Time
The best way to live,
Is to try to give.
Leave behind your greed,
To truly succeed.
Give an instant,
And be not so distant,
With a sunny smile,
For a little while.
Such a valuable gift,
Provides spirits a lift.
Give a minute,
If that's your limit,
To help another,
Like a devoted mother.
It shouldn't be rare,
When people dare,
To help those in need,
With a kindly deed.
Give an hour,
It's within your power.
Sit with a friend and laugh,
At an old photograph,
Of how your time began,
And share an exciting plan.
Pour sun on your future,
Close the wound with a suture.
Give a day,
Fill it with play.
Know a stranger well,
Bring them out of their shell.
Make it your mission,
To truly listen.
Showing genuine interest,
Is really simplest.
Spend your time
Helping others climb.
This is a gem I'm glad I found. Like a gem it has clarity, stays true and has sparkle! Cliches aside, it's well written and has a message for us all. Well done.
