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
