I sat with my mother
when I was very young,
I was sad and crying a bit,
and feeling very down
She asked what is the problem,
I told her of all my serious woes,
and just to be sure,
I donned a mournful frown
She suggested that I gather myself,
and asked me to think of the things
that made me happy and made me smile
She said all these experiences,
are lessons received,
the beginnings of a child
She said take all that Love
and put it into a jar called soul,
and keep it next to you
Every time another Love comes,
gather it up and save it,
for when you are feeling blue
Soon you will find,
if the times are unkind,
or maybe your down and feeling alone
and left out
That you can reach into soul the Love
you have collected,
and cast away any doubt
Your Love you have gained,
can always be attained,
and used when you need it most
When your thoughts of struggles and loneliness,
and the darkest of times do approach
The jar that’s Soul is given by The Lord,
a cache created and will never run empty
As long as you give out,
to those whom are in need,
yours will always be full and plenty
So keep that jar near,
walk not in fear,
and may you share it with others often
It is a gift given,
to show on your path,
that the Love of God is never forgotten.
