Circle of Life
Outpouring of love to those around
A finer feeling cannot be found
When you give of yourself unconditionally
It comes back ten fold to be received gratefully
So many different ways to show that you care
Use words or gestures to say that you're there
The need to help others runs very deep
A vital influence....except when asleep
A smile, a hug, or a kind, gentle word
Listen while they talk; let them be heard
Simply try to understand them as best as you can
Remember you are not God; only a mere human
You may be unable to take all of the problems away
But you can lessen the load and brighten their day
Knowing that you care enough to help in times of stress
Makes a difference in itself and troubles seem less
To give and receive; an unending cycle of love
This awesome circle of life is our gift from above
