Life's Little Lessons Poem by Denis Martindale

Once given a heart, we should use it,
not just to pump blood back and forth,
but to desire what is truly beautiful,
not just seeking beauty for itself alone,
but to know when to share it and with whom.
If we fail in such desires, have we truly lived,
have we truly fulfilled our greatest potential?
Scrooge had a change of heart and it transformed
his life into what it should have been all along.
To learn from his mistakes helps us to avoid them...
So even Scrooge helps us to be better than we are.
