How can I make a difference
I would like to know how you would make a difference to help improve the state of this world and humanity. It doesn't have to be a huge thing, even the tiniest of things done with positive thought and energy will help to improve the state of the world we all live in.
I can't wait to hear your replies.
I do the tiny little extra things.
As I go about my daily work,
I take the time to listen for the smallest note.
As I am cleaning and sweeping the hospital floor,
I keep one ear tuned to each door.
Some doors hold only quiet things.
At times I hear anguish and pain.
No two doors are ever the same.
Some cry out, without knowing why.
These people, it's sad for they know not where they are.
They don't remember how they came to be,
In a strange room and in a bed with railings.
How can others sleep with their constant wailing?
It's the tiny small voices that grab my ear.
The meek little cries of "Nurse, can you hear me?"
The nurses are running from room to room.
They cant hear that small little voice,
chanting nurse, nurse, nurse, nurse.
That is when I hear the call,
not from the room, but from deep within.
I know this poor soul may just need a little thing.
I ask "Honey, can I help you with something?"
"I'm not a nurse, but is there is a something I can do?"
A pillow, a blanket or something just out of reach.
It takes only a moment to help in this small way,
but that patient is so grateful for just that small touch.
"Thank you." they say with true gratitude.
"That feels so much better, I'm grateful for your kindness."
"It's nothing," I say "It's only a small thing that I could do."
"I'm glad that there was some way that I could help you."
After I am sure that they are OK,
I smile and "Feel better." I say.
As I leave my heart feels good.
It's just the tiny things I can do,
that make me feel so good.
On I go back to the hall.
As I tune in to the sounds from the very next door.
It's the tiny things that sometimes mean the most.
I thank the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost,
That I have a job that provides me a way,
to help others if in only the tiniest ways.
