Care and Comfort

Care and Comfort:

From the time my brother and I were infants with such small and tiny hands.

Our grandma taught us to be caring and compassionate,

To lend a helping hand.

As we grew into toddlers,

We tried our best to say no and disagree

Yet deep inside within us,

We knew we had been given a gift,

The love of a family.

As we grew and became school age kids,

We had friends who weren’t as lucky as you and me,

They often went to school hungry, and tired,

Poverty was a root of all the problems, that plagued their weary family.

As we grew into our teenage years,

We started to volunteer,

To spend some time, to make some things, to sing some songs with others,

And to spread little cheer.

As we grew into adults,

We never forgot what our grandma taught us to be,

To be kind and caring adults,

Who do the best we can to contribute to our community.
