live generously
live generously
is a friend’s company’s motto
that suits her way of life
to fulfillment
it was a joy to hug her
on her birthday
and see again the sparkle
in her eyes as she reaches out
with love
respect comes hard
respect comes hard
when money is valued
when those who gave time and health
to serve others are deemed ‘suckers’
respect comes hard
for those who do not honor the sacrifice
by those whose lives are then given
in love to care for the damaged
