She fell, that awkward fall of a child, knees grazed, and palms skinned. Her mother oblivious, her gaze locked to the siren in her hand. The child’s lips trembled but the cry was still forming in her head. Seconds passed like minutes, do I go, lift, and soothe the forgotten infant? Or do I walk on by and stay safe from accusing and wondering minds? It’s only a fall, she will be fine, if it were serious I would indeed help. Would I? A braver woman than I rushed to help, perhaps better protected by her female form. The wail exploded and “mother” snapped from her spell and rushed forth. I watched on, saddened that here I am, a father, grandfather, and human, worrying what others will think was my motive to help. Sad times.

Sad Times
Don’t speak unless spoken to. The weak is not broken too. This week I woken you. My heart is enclosed it remains open to view. You didn’t choose me, I’m life’s chosen few. With the ability to cope with you as we coexist. I’m here to talk just in case you need the assist.

The Assist
There is a kind of joy that can only be felt when you help others It's a more satisfying win when you help others win It's a different kind of beauty when you pull someone out of the dirt and you get them cleaned To lend a helping hand is not always the easiest to do But it is fulfilling and rewarding to do

Helping hand
Skies fill with toxins due to Chem trails. Sludge covered waters, **** fish on regular basis. TV is used as propaganda tool to brainwash. Still I trust carrying optimism with actions to assist humanity.     Air is poisoned with pesticides to make many unhealthy. Man continues to **** forests, and burn fossil fuels. Governments keep all in ******* with hidden agendas. Still I trust carrying an open heart with voice to assist humanity. People are now awakening to know we are one.   The heart is the place to travel into for wisdom. Time to reconnect with Mother Earth to make a heaven on earth as its meant to be. Still, I trust carrying love with compassion to assist humanity. Love and trust is the answer. Come join to help humanity. StarBG © 2017
