These Things Together Poem by Kelley Collins

A kiss holds more power than we know,
It brightens each day and brings a warm glow,
To the receiver it treats a great gift,
giving each spirit a brand new lift.

We all need a hug when we are feeling blue,
It does a million dollars worth of good to you.
It makes us smile, you can see the glee;
for, inside a hug makes us feel happy.

Love does everyone some good,
It makes us feel needed as we all should.
Love brings sunshine on a rainy day,
It guides us in the Lord's own way.

Honesty and truth brings everyone together,
With these things, we can conquer the stormy weather.
Warmth and compassion strengthens any bond.
These things are necessary for the world to respond.

All this together makes life worthwhile,
These things teach each newborn child,
to love and laugh in his time on earth;
because the Lord planned each special birth!
