Ebenezer's Cry
I heard old Ebenezer cry,
"Let me do some good before I die!"
That truth rang out,
It jarred my heart,
Why wait till the end
Before you start?
Let me do something good
Where I am today,
In small acts of kindness
That come my way;
Let my heart reach out
And meet the demands
In the eyes of the needy,
Not just in their hands;
For a penny put in an outstretched hand,
Cannot bring the healing
That a kind word can;
The joy in that healing
Is a wonderful gift;
That true Christmas spirit,
Has the power to lift,
To lead us to wonder,
To answer love's cry,
"Feed me with kindness and I'll never die!"

As a twin, I learned to share single things early. Helped out my mother and father without expecting anything in return for the love and sustenance they gave us. It just became part of my nature to help others freely. Have all my life. Always gave more than my share at work. Now, near the end of my life, I'm giving away a good portion of my retirement money that remains when I die to a very good cause.
The world can do without Ebenezers.
