If Only We Knew..a poem by Michael

If everyone helped a neighbor, nobody would be in need of help.

If a kind word is shared, then so shall that smile spread

To others. A helping hand relieves the burden and the load

Has been lifted. Gentle gestures of kindness reflect and bounce back

To those who have sent them. Sharing a hug for a minute has more

Meaning than a thousand words spoken. If only we knew...

An angel greeted me when my time was up. A kind word was shared

And the smile spread to others. Her helping hand relieved my burden

And the load was lifted. If only we knew. I smiled with a gentle

Gesture of kindness. We didn't have to speak a thousand

Words, just a one minute hug said it all. If only we knew....
