To those who care … If you can stay with a troubled soul And hold a hand or dry a tear, And help someone regain control And be respectful and sincere … If you can hear their pain and fear And try to understand it, too Not delegating kindness here But boldly say “I am with you”. If you flag love in a greedy world Exposing what it tries to hide, A gentle hand or word unfurled Seeking contact with those most denied. We owe the world to folk like you Who lift our spirits and light up hope; And gift us faith in ourselves anew Without which none of us would cope. In service are rewards indeed But truth is we take turns to fall, In the eyes and hearts of those in need Is a mirror image of us all. Carmel O’Brien Comments are closed.
