I have been feeling a bit moved today, especially after reading a couple of posts from bloggers who are the “real deal” as they share stories of perseverance – and as some continue giving and pushing through.
When I saw this photo (below) on Sreejith’s blog – it whispered to me – the orange sunset – and the whole feel of the shot – and then seeing those strong hands – turned and intentionally opened – to release the artsy looking Appooppanthadi seeds (milkweed) – well it reminded me of those who give! Reminded me of those who keep on investing in their family – or those helping someone with health challenges – or those that are just serving the community (like by blessing others with your writing or photography)…
So I wrote a little (basic and simple) poem – to go with this photo – to remind us all that the little things we do REALLY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
so keep on doing what you do….
The lives you touch-
are very real!
When you…
serve and give
dream and live
accept and forgive
recharge and refill
commit your skill
IT is part of the life wheel-
YOUR essence and feel!
To release the clutch-
to give your touch
with open hands
little bits and parts
of a giving heart!
We give in whispers…
each slow exhale
emanates our love
which flies into the air
like seedlings above.
Strength of yielding
and serving….
with child-like observing.
YOUR presence
is a present-
and the lives you touch
are very real!
The little things you do
A R E
a VERY big deal.
