Open Your Heart - an Ovi
Ovi Poetry Challenge 84: OPEN is your inspiration
Open your heart, open your mind.
It costs you nothing to be kind.
Make an effort to not be blind
to those who need some assistance.
It costs you nothing to be kind.
Make an effort to not be blind
to those who need some assistance.
They may be down, need of a hand,
open your eyes and take a stand.
In days of woe, when much is banned,
we all may need reassurance.
Open your wallet, if you're can,
we're all worthy, no one less than.
"...evil men plot, good men must plan,"
as proclaimed a man of wisdom.
