    The Extra Mile

    The Extra Mile


    Has anyone ever asked of you
    To go the extra mile
    And your answer to them is “I’d be glad to”
    But you’re thinking ‘in a while’.

    How many times have you needed a friend
    For someone to lend you a hand
    But no one steps forward in the end
    And you just don’t understand

    Are you willing to work one more minute
    Before someone even asks
    Is your heart truly in it
    To complete the task?

    No matter what anyone else might do
    Don’t worry what others might feel
    You should be willing to go mile number two
    ‘cause your love for your Brother is real

    No matter how you look to others
    Or how they feel about you
    They will know you help your brothers
    And know your efforts are true

    Don’t worry how someone might look at you
    No matter if they don’t care
    You know you can live with yourself
    There is love in your heart to share

    i needed to read this poem at this moment , on this day, it's beautiful and it's what i imagine the garden of Eden to be ..

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
