5 Lines – Potluck – In Other Words

Spiced With Love
We had a little gathering from all along our street,
a Bob, a Jane or two, a Susan, James and more,
all placed a gift or three in our communal pot,
from generosity to empathy and listening stirred right in,
while some so very carefully spiced it with their love.

Yes, I do too, I think there’s a number of us in here who do – maybe if we keep putting it out there 🙂

I knew you would, it is that goal of many of us to change the world in our corner with that warmth, each of us doing our bit.

Fear for many, especially when their trust has been broken so young.
