Just Being There Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Just Being There
Sharing a little of human love with others who have need
of it in their lives, destitute, alone, floundering on
their paths in life.
Alone, afraid, seemingly forgotten in times of darkness,
just a smile, listening intently to what they are saying,
giving them love and encouragement.
Showing them there is someone who cares, helping, giving
hope and reaching out, letting them know they are loved
and valued by another.
Supporting them, being there when needed, it's really very
simple, you don't have to be rich or famous, just be your-
self, giving of your time and love is all that's needed.

This poem sums up the other three I just read and commented on. This poem gives voice to the life of ALTRUISM, which is a law and a spirit that connects so many good things, bringing people together in a spirit of harmony. Your title JUST BEING THERE echoes my second favorite line of poetry, it's from one of the last poems written by Wallace Stevens when he was 75, and it affirms what your poems are saying that the greatest valuemismin people, not things or power or wealth: SEE HOW HIGH THE BRIGHTEST CANDLE LIGHTS THE DARK! OUT OF THE SAME LIGHT, OUT OF THE CENTRAL MIND, WE MAKE A DWELLING IN THE OPEN AIR IN WHICH BEING THERE TOGETHER IS ENOUGH.
