Island

An Island is described as a piece of land enclosed or surrounded by water...it is a piece of track that looks isolated with out easy access of everything. When i was a kid my mother told me this very significant line "No man is an Island" (english author "John Donne") that denotes as a human being we are destined to rely each other because we can not sufficiently survive by ourselves only but need other people. Today wana share to you my father in laws piece of wisdom "Paul Cater"...folks enjoy reading



Are you an island in the neighborhood?
Do you turn your back at a chance to do good?
If your fellow man is down on his luck,
Can you reach in your pocket and pull out a buck?

If you see a young man going a stray,
Do you take the time to show him the way,
Can you say, i helped my friend in need from the heart,
And you did a good deed without word of complain

With all the problems we have in this land,
Do you try to do all that you can
Are you the person you would like to live next to or the kind that
That makes people sue no one person can
make the world sound

So reach out your hand to all who are down
Help your fellow man,be all you can
Be an island be the best that you can
Because an island could be inland.
