Compassion

Number 5.

 

She drove downtown,

Which was about an hour away,

In her beaten-up car

That desperately needed an oil change

On her weekly trip.

First, the Goodwill –

She had too many things she never used,

And the others could benefit from them.

Next, the soup kitchen.

Not for herself, but for the others.

Ladling out a meal always helped her

See how lucky she really was.

Finally, the church,

So that she could teach the little ones

Compassion and Love.

She was the best teacher

That they ever knew.

awwwh, it's so sweet! you did a lot better job w/ this one than i did.
in the third line, you put "ear" and i think you meant something else...unless she was driving an ear that needed an oil-change =)
