Charity Starters
Charity starts at home don't we say?
Be kind to your kith and kin come what may.
A family's not only your safe haven
Tis pals your very own roots
Water these shoots with love devoid of hate
So they bear you sweeter fruits.
Maybe you'd say that's not so easy
but perhaps that's coz you just too busy
Or your clock just don't chime
for quality family time?
For if you can't make time for a letter or a hug
Then let my poem give your conscience a gentle tug.
And if this may sound like a very preachy homily
Deserves much more mention and affection the family
If you can make time for so many other things
some of them not even worthwhile
Try discover the happiness family brings
Just a tad modify that routine lifestyle.
My words in crystal clear clarity
sing compassion is likewise a charity
Charity need not be for strangers only
Find out who needs help in kindred and family
Ties of kinship severe not
Value the relations you've got
Your siblings, cousins from your family tree
and all else that you call family.
What supports and buttresses your family tree are your very own roots
And what keeps the tree living on are your beloved offshoots
Love and regard is quintessential to reaping sweeter fruits

Yes family is good for advice, and jail oh noh hope not that for anyone.wRmest thanks for fine comment.
A really great write. Very much enjoyed.
Thanks so much for feedback! Now I'm curious to read yours as well!
Very in depth and I loved the flow and word use! You certainly have a gift! I was told once before by my old N.A., sponsor, "How we spend our time is how we love, because time is something we can never get back!" We can make excuses about how we are too busy but that's not true! We can always make time for the people we love! Now that I'm in recovery I truly value my relationships, especially those with my family, because I used to isolate and our relationships became estranged. Just grateful to God I didn't die in active addiction so that I can make up for lost time! God bless you In Jesus's Almighty, All Powerful, Divine, Holy, Majestic Name, The Name Above All Names, amen, Amen, AMEN!!! Keep up the good work! ;)
