We all need each other

Someone like you can save

another soul.

With just a simple smile.

A friendly word

Or even just a hug.

No one is an island.

No one is uncaring totally.

Even the most harden criminal

can be brought to tears.

By someone who does not even

know them.

But just been shown a simple

act of kindness towards them

and someone not giving up on

them totally.

We all need each other.

This is true it’s quite beautiful
When I was growing up and everyone had land lines mum who was an angel in disguise would get calls from her friends and sometimes be on the phone for hours consoling one or more people with their troubles with just a listening ear and a warm heart that always put all others needs including us her family above her own needs
Nowadays there is no time we all work have busy lives and a quick text or hi in f b or sending a meme or happy good morning message.
In fact I prefer the old days without the internet lol
I liked your poem
Hope you are well xx

HI Julie, i could really picture your mum comforting and caring with her love and compassion for her friends and family. It's so true, everyone is in their own little bubble and so absorb in itself love they forget others around them. Cheers Julie. Dawn.

"No man is an island unto himself." This is especially true today. We would like to think we are all so independent but the truth is more than ever we need one another. It is, as you said, amazing how far a kind word can go. What a little positiveness can do to make someones" day.

Take care - Dave

Hi Crosby, thanks for your thoughts. Dawn.

Welcome brother

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and poets especially need each other...we often have no one else, and are so misunderstood...
but writers have that place in their hearts for other writers...some don't but are they really writers in the true sense, poets in the true sense?
with each other's support...islands connect.

Hi Jacob, exactly i agree wholeheartedly with you. Well said. We should stand together not separate like an island judging each other. Dawn

Very true Dawn - love conquers all! The End :)

[Onlyme]

Hi Carolynn, without love this would be a cold uncaring world. And as it's the world has enough problems to deal with already with love being in it. blessings. Dawn.

[Relic]

Yes Dawn, we all need to care for each other. If not, it could spell disaster.

I agree dear Dawn. If we led with concern, kindness and we listen. Would be a better world. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.
