We reap what we sow and Mrs. Butters sure did that...


Poem Artwork

It is Never Cold

 

Mrs. Butters gave her whole life in helping others in dismay.

She worked extremely hard in soup kitchens every holiday.

She always read to the children in the library in her town.

And Mrs. Butters took care of the elderly when they were down.

 

 Now this Christmas Mrs. Butters sits all alone by her fire.

Her health & sight are gone now and her finances are dire.

But as she sits, she reflects on the wonderful life she had.

She doesn’t feel sorry for herself at all, not even a small tad.

 

For all the people she has helped throughout her many years.

Only bring great comfort to her and a few of them bring tears.

She always keeps them in her heart and remembers them in prayer.

They touched her life in every way as much as she touched there’s.

 

Many times throughout the years, they stop by and chat.

Giving her so much pleasure and truly giving so much back.

Some of them became successful from the help she gave to them.

And they never forgot the love she showed, over and over again.

 

So even though she’s alone, many carry Mrs. Butters in their heart.

They pop in and out bringing presents, thanking her for their new start.

No, don’t feel sorry for Mrs. Butters, she has more love than a heart can hold.

And even though her home is now old and empty, it has never been cold.

 

Old Mrs. Butter’s wants for nothing, all her needs are met.

When you give a little or a lot, ten-fold back is what you get.

 

Written by,

Bonnie May

Beautiful, Bonnie (as always). Mrs. Butters is what we all should be, every day, in our lives. She is a living legacy of God and Good in our world.

BTW, I got a sneak-peek at your three poems which will be published on TWF this evening. You ROCK, Poet :-)

Nice work Bonnie...there are to few who can really say they are without that need of love...to fill one's life we must share our lives, with kindness, assistance, and that true love from the heart and from the depths of our soul...

nice work...

Oh and Happy Thansgiving...

And then again, how many elderly will be alone this Season? shouldn't we be looking around our home and pop in to one of those, telling them that they aren't alone, that they are in our thoughts?
If we give a little love...will it not come back ten fold?
