To have a love for life; what joy
To see what’s bright when day is grey
To use ones time with life to toy
Is just how I enjoy each day

To see the good, forgive a wrong
To share a smile so it may grow
To be where I might just belong
Lets good and peace together sow

To know each day you do what’s right
Fulfill ones duty and ones deed
To hold each day as happy sight
Does fertilize and grow that seed

To know the truth, but share a thought
To listen and to be a friend
Does offer more than what is bought
And that is what to you I send

Very much enjoyed this read and you said it exactly the way it is intended to be.  I especially liked the second and last verses.  Well done.

Dear Alison, glad you read it when needed my friend, thank you for sharing your time and words, appreciated.

Dear Margherita, it is how it is meant to be my friend, but sadly many will not share what is theirs to give. Thank you for your reply.

TheAnonDavid, thank you for taking the time to visit and comment my friend, very much appreciated.

To you all my friends, again thank you very much for the interaction of words, nice to have you all around to share.

Sincerely
Rick
