POSITIVITY POST - A POEM - I MAY NOT…

 

I may not see all the seeds I scatter

But I know where I stand.

I stretch to make the world a better place

And lend a helping hand.

I help the dreamers to dream

And the songbirds to sing:

From my branches they leap

And learn to first trust their wing.

When they fall I am here,

They speak and I care.

I tell them - “Go into the world

And your bright talents share!”

It’s an encouraging thing to hear

At the end of a rough day.

I know in time their fruits will come

I’m just glad that through their journey I can help out some.

I am thankful for those who years ago planted me,

And helped me to become

A helping tree.

The Helping Tree by Dallin Candland

The author is a person of deep faith. Even those who are of different beliefs will appreciate this poem, for its message is universal. We could all be a Helping Tree, many already are and hopefully everyone has known someone like that in their lives, or if they haven't, have tried to be one.

I found this delightful picture on Pinterest and went searching for a poem that would best express it. I found Dallin's poem and thought it powerfully positive. I am always trying to pass on the positivity and most definitely living in hope for a kinder tomorrow. There are many kind people out there already and I am going to try and find their stories.
