Giving away

Giving away

So, I’ll save the world again today

By giving pieces of myself away

I’ll lend a hand

to someone who just needs a hand
in barren fields, down the road 
or in some cold and lonely land

Or offer a shoulder; 

A shoulder to hold, or just a shoulder to cry or lean on

Instead of turning away

I’ll give my attention and my ear      

   be silent, and listen with compassion 

  or just stand still and be there   

I can lend my voice as well, to

  lifting-up, instead of putting down

 be an extra pair of hands

When something just needs getting done

 I'll give my name to positivity

Celebrate living in this land
of diversity, freedom 
and endless possibilities

and a servant i will be 
 when tired feet wax still 
i will move swift and easy
 without a murmur given  

 Yes!

I’ll try to save the world again today

By giving pieces of myself away

Hi Chris I love the imagery you create in this write 
I think he in your poem is someone who gives of
himself without a thought.A  heart of gold
 Made me think why can`t all people be so giving 
kindness compassion and love do not cost, they can be 
given freely 
A great write! friend 
Best wishes Debs
