Helping others
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;never throw out anyone.Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,you will find one at the end of each of your arms.As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself,and the other for helping others.Poem...
