#philanthropic
organizations or persons
of philanthropic bent
can assist the Hello Poetry site
by donating five thousand dollars
for a mobile app's content
as the members of this literary forum
aren't millionaires
there is a need to fund
the app's affairs
it is hoped that lovers of written art
can give a bountiful hand
their valuable contributions
could easily cover five grand
now that the seeking call
has been placed online
may donors soon flood in
with a veritable gold mine

What I would tell someone young about the topic
In those moments of philanthropic
Number one would be
It will happen to you automatically you’ll see
Number two would have me say
Live life day to day it will happen anyway
Number three without a doubt
Enjoy each day with glee and feel free to shout it out
Number four is a golden rule
Stay in school and don’t be a fool
Number five you cannot skip
Sorrows will come and go though sometimes they are just a blip
Number six is all about trips
I mean those far and wide, not the kind that can end up in ticks
Number seven for those that care
Live long and prosper and always share
Number eight don’t hesitate
To see outside the box and co-create
Number nine if you have time
Leave a legacy that will shine
Number 10 to remember
Take family and friends alongside for the ride
Number 11 on your way to heaven
Express gratitude at every interlude
Number 12 will help you delve into the unknown
It is remembering that you are not alone
Number 13 is a must and goes beyond lust
It is to love till dust to dust
