If not done with your heart

it will leave you with an empty feeling

It can be as simple as a smile,

a hug or a joke

or as deep as contributing

time and commitment

To not be afraid to extend yourself

in helping any fellow being

without the desire for restitution,

just the joy of helping to brighten

someone else's day, week or

future is payment enough

To know this to be true, is to know

you have enjoyed it’s embrace
