You won’t get nothing in return.
You won’t be richer.
You won’t appear on TV.
Still Anonymous.
And not a bit more famous.
What you’ll receive are: emotions,
You’ll witness happiness,
Reach a deeper understanding,
Feel the love.
Receive what money can’t buy:
A world made more beautiful.
And in your life?
What is it that you desire most?

To This Day
By Shane Koyczan
The Power Of Your Words
And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself...
Get a better mirror.
Look a little closer.
Stare a little longer.

Compassion's Song
by Raymond A. Klesc
How does one measure compassion's pet;
When we casually stand by man's decent.
"Tis not us," reassuring glances met,
Of others ignored compassion's lament.
We leave to others what should be our charge,
But no one answers the clarion call.
Who acts, then, during times slow passing barge,
If silent compassion is man's downfall.
We leave it to God and his divine will
And cower from obligations unfound.
We on earth must recognize that we still
Have duties to compassion's solid ground.
Take heed friend! Live compassion's daily song,
Be kind to other's, rewards can be long.
