Caring--By Beth Winchcombe--England

Caring

Whatever I have,
may not be much,
but I give it with love
wholeheartedly!
I give you my time.
I listen, because I care.
You're my friend,
I'll always be there,
for you!
I'll dry your tears,
help to dispel your fears.
Wherever you travel,
I'm your shadow.
That's what friends are for,
always, evermore!
The world would be a better place,
if the whole human race,
cared for each other
like a brother.
Shalom....peace be with you.

Beth Winchcombe is now a retired housewife and enjoys writing poetry, also painting in oils.  She lives in Derbyshire, England.

  4. Dear Beth, "Time" is one of the best gifts we can bestow. You know someone cares for you when they listen and help dry your tears. This strikes home for me because my wealthy sister gives gifts freely, but she often doesn't make time to listen or care. She and I are working on this together. I was very moved by your wonderful poem! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
    Love and blessings,
    Carolyn

  5. Thank you, Isha Wagner, for the following--

    The poem CARING is just lovely, full of the caring sentiment we wish for in our friendships but so seldom find. Most friendships are conditional in some way or other and when we know this we feel much hurt. Beth's poem expresses unconditional love and thus is such a pleasure to read.

    Yours sincerely
    Isha Wagner
