Pay It Forward Poem by Jon M. Nelson

When you have the chance, lend a hand.
Don’t be afraid to try to take a stand.
Pay it forward, expect nothing back.
Compassion is something we all lack.

A word of kindness is sometimes in need,
So is the chance to commit a good deed.
Pay it forward, take nothing in return.
Compassion is something we all can learn.

If you see the need, follow your heart,
Helping others out will always be a start.
Pay it forward and pass on the charity,
Compassion is out there, we all will see.

Help someone out with a life changing event,
Let someone feel that you were heaven sent.
Pay it forward, all the kindness inside,
Compassion is out there, it hasn’t died.

Show your neighbor what they’re worth,
And the reason that you’re on this earth.
Pay it forward without ever any regret.
Compassion is here, let us not forget.
