"The Giving Me"

 

A year has passed and I reflect,

I stand in the mirror and see new eyes.

My project I organized

Has put me in check.

 

I looked in my closet and soon discovered

A gluttony of sporting equipment

Overflowed the floor and poured out the door

A lightbulb overhead glowed and hovered.

 

“Gear to Share” was soon in progress

Friends! Neighbors! Relatives!

Gently used sporting equipment soon arrived

Packaged and presented to a new address.

 

Children in need were soon surprised

By generous donations from all who shared

Seeing their faces and ready to play

Was reward to me feeling engergized!

 

The image in the mirror stands now proud

All my hard work has been substantial

Feelings of kindness and good will galore!

I see a new me amongst the crowd.
