Let Us Not Pass On By... by M. Emmett Townsend

Let Us NotPassOn By...

Some times I think why?

Why did they pass him by?

I was a stranger

They saw me fall

I was a stranger

They gave me aid

Some times I think why?

Why didn't they pass me by?

I do not know you

Yet I have seen you fall

You were strange to me

But I did sooth thy pain

Some times I think why?

Why did they pass him by?

Please join us, in our new endeavor, do not pass him by...

Please help us to help her and him...

Please stop in your way and join http://goodsamaritan.gather.com/ as we work together to heal the wounded, cure the ill, and comfort the afflicted.

Let us remember our G-d and our Forefathers in this special way this Holy-day Season.

Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas to all!!

You're Brother,

Emmett

Un-Grateful1, gataobilis wont get taxc brakes from us, and while we see a name on screen, gatobilis is still anonymous as I don't think any of us know Gatobilis personaly...

So get the atitude adjusted, we need no Ba Humbugs this season we have enough already.

An eye opener to be sure but more importantly- more the reason to open the heart.

Merry Christmas Emmett. There is no better feeling than to give to someone who truly needs it without expecting anything in return. Expectations notwithstanding, the return is excellent.

I volunteer my time on a regular basis to help others. I love doing it. It is so very rewarding. Not in money but in the good feeling that you can only recieve by helping others. beautiful poem. How is Leslie doing?
