it makes you know its all worth while,

they say its better to give then recieve,
this I truly do believe,
in this life theres sadness,there's sorrow,
none of us can plan tomorrow.

This is lovely! What a wonderful message.

A nice idea, too. ;)

I love the upbeat attitude of this. It's nice to see on a site that has so many negative submissions.

Great write.

Beautiful! Such words of wisdom Lillyjane. With 365 days in a year we should try and make each one special and sharing and giving to others will always make their day as well as our own a good one. When you make others smile you can't help but smile yourself. I love this poem Lillyjane, it truly is inspirational.

A heartfelt, optimistic piece. Selflessness does tend to lift the heart.
