A Gift to Share


When you least expect, life takes a turn
And gives you a chance to live what you learned
From past experience, whether worth it or not
A lesson in life is just what you got
 
But sometimes you get a chance to share
The power in just being able to care
For those who crave just a smile or a touch
We all need someone, it doesn't take much
 
It doesn't take money or gifts you can buy
Sometimes it's as simple as a wink of your eye
With a smile, a kind word or a pat on the shoulder
Just try it soon, before you get older
 
For then you will see the need for this gift
The spirits of someone who might need a lift
And maybe, just maybe, you might touch the one
That you needed most before the day is done
