Deep Thoughts, Shallow Brain, Part 10

What causes someone to give a warm smile?
a simple little gesture that can last for a mile

What changes a heart to do something nice?
loving actions your unable, to buy at any price

What makes people show someone they care?
comfort that helps you, know that they’re there

What drives a loved one, to take time to be near?
to wrap their arms around you, to show you they’re here.

What helps someone put the selfish away?
to respond to someone else’s needs for a day

What would move someone to give of their time?
to help you ascend mountains you couldn’t climb

What must someone think, when they sacrifice so great?
To stop, and to lift from you, a remarkable weight

What causes them to act? some may inquire,
to respond to another with love and desire.

To stop for a minute to see all as their brother,
to apply the sweet phrase “love one another.”

A sweet gentle prompting, from up above,
from one who gave the ultimate, sacrifice of love.

So let us look, for opportunities right in our way,
let us all seek out those, we can serve today.
