A Year Passes Quickly
I know this to be True
But what can one person in one year
Possibly Do....
You can tell someone something
To bring them a smile
You can give someone your time
by just talking awhile
You can bake up a treat
You can send out a letter
You can offer a prayer
There is nothing better
You can hug a dear friend
You can pet a sweet dog
You can ride a bike or walk for a day
to not add to the smog
You can offer a hand
You can offer a shoulder
You can watch a friend's baby
Or visit someone older
You can do so many things
That are helpful and good
But we don't always do
All the things that we should
So today I am saying
A thoughtful prayer or two
For the blessings I have
In my family and love so true
And thankyou to my readers
New friends far away
Like sisters I have now
on this wonderful day
I am Blessed....
What a beautiful day! Where does that first year go? I hope they have enjoyed every minute of it!
