The sun inside a heart made with hands
Barb Clarke

I Do Believe

I do believe,
to give to others
lends meaning
to our lives.
To be there
for others
during times
of strife.
To lend a hand
when difficulty looms
across this land.
I do believe,
there can be
no greater power,
no greater hour,
than when love,
triumphs, over hate.

Some thoughts after the past presidential election. I have always thought it is better to give than receive.
