The Best Of Life Poem by Holly Jamestone

Have you offered hope today
Or touched a trembling hand
Have you wiped away a tear
Or helped somebody stand

Have you been a listener
When one was feeling down
Have you been a wall of strength
Or helped dissolve a frown

Have you ever held your hand
Or cut yourself some slack
Have you been a soothing force
In finding your way back

Have you reached the place in life
Where you may feel content
Knowing deep within your heart
About what life is meant

Have you come to know that love
Is better than all power
Far exceeding fame or wealth
More fragrant than a flower

Have you realized the truth
And secret to all joy
Have you spread the word
To even one small girl or boy

If you've come to realize
The things which should be key
The best of life awaits you
As you now have been set free
