Going the Extra Mile

Recently my 82-year-old great Aunty had a knee replacement. With no kids of her own and no other family nearby, my parents and I visited her everyday, despite having work etc and it made a difference to her, our company and care. After all, when we're old and frail we'd want people to visit us wouldn't we? So I thought I'd share this one as it cost nothing to go the extra mile, even if the gesture is small, it makes a difference to someone, somewhere, that you took the time to care. I'm Christian myself but I don't think you have to be religious to help people out. In fact most religions preach helping you neighbour and peace but it's been known for rabbis and priests to overlook a person in need, yet a non-religious person in the street helps the person in need out! We can all help a friend, family member or stranger out- it just takes selflessness to do so. Apologies for the mini lecture and enjoy the poem :)
