A Person Who Cares
"Please find me food, I’m hungry,
please give me water I’m dry,
Don’t leave me, don’t ignore me, or I will surely die"
"You are a stranger here amongst us, in this war-torn famine land
Please show me that you care, show me you understand"
The stranger stopped and said, “Your suffering, I understand”,
“I will lead you away from here, come, please take my hand,
To a place of food abundance, where water freely flows
To a land of peace and freedom, where children learn and grow”
The suffering all followed this stranger, her goodness they all knew,
Are you a caring person?
Could this stranger, perhaps, be you?

Words
We use words to communicate,
We use words to learn,
Words express love and happiness,
Words also can be fun.
Words may cause harm if the truth we twist,
Barriers and opportunities missed.
Words can lead to fights, suffering, and pain,
Words from self-centred people,
seeking personal gain.
Relationships take time to build,
Yet, in seconds words may destroy, despair,
Do such words ever do anything,
to get us anywhere?
------------------------------------------------------
Ever wondered why some people are so determined to do something to help others? Why some people are determined to work helping animals, nature, or the environment?
I believe that many people are given a "Calling". This is a gift from Heaven via the Angels to do a particular task. The task is part of a Divine Plan to make sure that every aspect of life has people interested in caring and working to cherish, protect, repair and bring healing
A Calling
Someone called my name – no-one there,
I heard it again – from where?
Perhaps imagination, yet, inner-feelings, new sensation
Heightened awareness, inspiration.
I must help others, I must show care,
New ideas in my mind, guiding me – where?
Yes, I now see it clearly, people suffering out there.
I know it won’t be a perfect way,
Somehow, I’ll help others each day,
No longer thinking just about me,
Money, pleasure, living selfishly.
A new driving force, like fire within,
I must get started, I must begin,
Trying to help others, new goals in sight,
It matters more that I try, than to always get it right.
Touching lives, kindness, goodness, share,
Giving, helping, my new purpose is to care.

The Path of Life
Through life I travelled every day,
Somewhere, I took the wrong path, on my way,
Hostile people stopped me, wanting fight,
The fight had no winners, no wrong or right,
Fighting ended because I showed care,
People now accepted me, friendship to share.
I travelled again on this unknown path,
Hunger and thirst, no rod, no staff.
I came across food, replenished my supply,
A voice in the distance for food did cry,
I tried to ignore them, my food was my own,
I turned back to help, I had spiritually grown
I fed the poor stranger, offered my hand,
To a place on the path, food abundance land
I moved on, my search, emptiness inside,
A search for love to heal pain, deep down I did hide,
Path went over mountains, heat and cold,
My clothes were but rags, I felt weary, old,
In search of greater meaning, fulfilment, and truth,
Inner happiness I hadn’t found whilst in my youth.
I travelled further on this path, rounded a bend,
My path went two ways to journey’s end,
The first was for learning, hard lessons I’d seen,
The second, now open, almost a dream,
I took this second path, better in deeds and thought,
Now caring for others, from lessons life had taught,
Then I saw a Light ahead, as I rested by a tree,
My beautiful Guardian Angel waiting all along for me.
