They say charity begins at home
and to love another you must
love yourself. Whether we
open our hearts or
we open a door,
charity is a dew-filled flower
on which we all can sip.

My response to Poets United Midweek Motif: Charity
Yesterday was the International Day of Charity and Susan hosted the Midweek Motif with the word ‘charity’. She asked us to write a new poem about giving and/or receiving some type of charity, using a favourite quote about charity if we wish.

Yes indeed, charity can image itself in so many forms. Even a smiley to a depressed heart is charity expressed. Charity is love extended
