Offer

Talking just to hear my thoughts,
encaged actions remain caught.
Frustration yells “what is next”,
tempting fate to do it’s best.

Feeling hopeless, look around,
empathy has broken down.
People in need every day,
trying hard to find their way
.

Others stroll without a care,
ignoring all saddened stares,
oblivious to inner tears,
known to carry lack and fears
.

I will not judge what they do,
to myself, I will be true.
Maybe I can cause a change,
push myself to just engage
.

Love does not know how to flee,
actions will release so free.
I can be a vital force
with some guidance from pure source
.

Every day the Sun appears,
sharing can always bring cheers.
Full moon emanating light,
spreading brightness every night
.

Simple smiles can be suffice,
as the case with sound advice.
Money is not all we need,
help requires a small seed
.

It will sprout and multiply,
positive in high supply.
I will gladly lend a hand,
my love grows, shares, and expands
.

  1. My, the image you found is sad. I appreciate the relevance of the first line: “Talking just to hear my thoughts, . . .” We do this, don’t we?–whether or not to make excuses, fortify our extistence, or for some other reason. I also especially appreciate the line “help requires a small seed.” Because it’s true. The seed might be a dollar, an hour, or a bit of will. I just read that photosynthesis in a plant begins with a single proton. So help starts small and grows from there.

  2. For the first time, I read one of your poems out loud. It really helped me connect to what you were saying. This is a beautiful poem. Thank you so much for sharing them with all of us.

  3. I love to enjoy reading your poetic sentiment. In them you reflect that reality that often goes unnoticed before thousands of foreign eyes.
    Hugs, Grace.

  4. Frustration yells “what is next”,
    tempting fate to do it’s best.
    These lines caught my attention. A thought provoking poem, Grace 😊💖
