I like to be a Good Samaritan <br />to everyone I meet <br />whether it be personally <br />or virtually over the internet. <br />I only have my words <br />to help comfort them <br />through the hard times they face. <br />Reassuring words that someone <br />is there to listen to their pleas. <br />One of my friends figured <br />that helping others could damage me, <br />making me feel down as they are. <br />Quite the contrary, <br />I feel happy when I can raise a smile <br />and joyous with their laughter. <br />No, their problems do not get me down. <br />They only make me stronger and more determined <br />to help them get through whatever is ailing them. <br />I would also like to let them know <br />that I am always there <br />if their need again may arise <br />and they need someone to talk to. <br /> <br />29 January 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-samaritan-2/
