~Reach Out With Your Heart~  attempting to smile he conjures a frown picks himself up just to fall right back down weighted by burdens too heavy to bear people pass by him too busy to care what would they do if the tables should turn would they expect him to show some concern perhaps they would learn to be loving to others to treat all God's children as sisters and brothers we all need to reach out to people in need each day take a moment to do a good deed the simplistic act of conveying a smile can help someone know that their life is worthwhile remember the next time you're out on the street reach out with your heart to each person you meet you can bring hope to a soul on the mend by turning a stranger into a friend ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 07-27-2001).] |

Oh,Vicky~ Just reach on out and squeeze my heart, will ya ? Yes, friend ... a smile is such a tiny gift to give - yet such a big one to receive. I'm so glad to know that big beautiful heart of yours~ My son was right.  Love n' hugs~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Caring for others takes a stong heart and soul. It can be the most rewarding activity there is. Hearts grow on such food. Throw your heart out in front of you |

Wonderful outreach of human kindness. Both touching and convicting. Even the picture draws one to feel. If they do at all. Superb! Sincerely, Regina |

If everyone would just take these words to heart then maybe there would be less people in this world who have given up hope. What an inspirational piece. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
