Everyone should remember
to take the time each day
to let someone know you care
in your own special way.

Show them that you care.
Let them hear you say
how much you appreciate
them today and every day.

You can make a difference
in someone's daily pace
with a helping hand - a thank you
or a smile upon your face.

Even a polite hello
or a friendly telephone ring
can mean so very much
and it won't cost you a thing.

Try it a few times
I know that you will see
how good it makes you feel
from the reactions you receive.

It's better to give to others
than it is to receive
for when you give to others
many times you will retrieve.
