Doesn'T Take Much Poem by Joseph Skelley

Doesn't Take Much


It doesn't take much to help another person that is in need
No more then growing plants or vegetables from a tiny seed
It's not always giving money it could be just a loving hug
Something so simple could bring a person out from under the rug

For in today's world people often just think of themselves
Not taking the time before a poor soul falls off the shelf
There were times when someone held out a helping hand to me
I was so down and out this was such a pleasure for me to see

As we all get older we begin to see life in a different light
I was taught to respect others and always try to be polite
When you think about things it feels better to give then take
We can all help our neighbors even if it is just a handshake

As we drift along through life and all of it's many paths
It really doesn't take all that much to just smile and laugh
When you are reaching out and holding on to some poor souls hand
Making them feel better and once again be able to make a stand
