The Gift of Life

Even you
Can give the gift of life
To someone

It does not cost much
No need to reach into your pocket
To make a donation

You have the wherewithal
Right here
Your mind

You can action thoughts
That will touch
Someone really special

You may make mistakes
But if a child made no mistakes
Could they have learnt to walk ?

Or to speak?
Or to eat?
Or to love?

You're part of an amazing thread
It ties you to your neighbour
Even though you may ignore it

It is impossible for you to be alone
Feel alone yes
Be alone never

You exist with many others
More like you
Than you will ever know

If you close a door
And you are alone
You are mistaken

Nothing happens in isolation
The truth echoes beyond closed doors
Justice peace and love may falter

Faith
Desire
And vigour may wane

But you will never
Ever be alone
Ever
