Many thanks go out for your empathy, <br /> By putting yourselves in our place, <br /> People will help, but must be asked, <br /> We do not expect sympathy, <br /> Special people instinctively know, <br /> The needs of us in distress, <br /> Pity breeds negative thinking, <br /> Positive thoughts are best. <br /> We need support of family and friends, <br /> For someday you may be as I, <br /> So share and care as best you can, <br /> If you cannot we understand, <br /> You've touched my life with tenderness, <br /> God sent you, so thee I bless. <br /> While walking down life's pathway, <br /> Do as the volunteers do, <br /> Give a little time, <br /> A small piece of you.<br /><br />Audrey Duncan Major<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sharing-and-caring/
