The Alternate Method of Prayer

A wise man once said:"There is no greater gift, than the gift of caring and attention for another..."

The Alternate Method of Prayer

The gift that we offer builds our own coffer

If that bequest is in another’s behest.

For when we give aid, it’s a two-sided blade.

Caring for another, loving one’s brother,

Is the essence of life’s effervescence.

When we reach out, without any doubt,

We give our heart a huge jump start,

For the love deep inside, matures a heart wide,

Expanding its form, enlarging its warmth.

So the kindness we give, helps all those who live,

And brings us good cheer and a saintly career.

Such a simple course that I do so endorse:

Give to your fellow man. Do all that you can,

For love is the alternate way that we pray.
