There But For Fortune Go You Or I

Those of us who enjoy the comforts of home, with roofs over our heads and food to eat are the lucky ones. Let gratitude for our good fortune inspire us to do what we can to alleviate the plight of the less well-off, people who have been forced by one reason or another to leave the place they called "home".

Tony with tears running down my face I believe this was your best & most important words of wisdom ever.
With what is happening here in the US I fear for all. I so am ashamed of what is taking place here and feel so helpless. Who is next runs through my thoughts?
Thank you for your words of kindness and compassion.

I loved the poem, Home. Perfect explanation of the why people risk their lives. If only, we especially in the states, could begin working on solutions instead of pandering fear. Thank you for the reminder to live by the golden rule. 🙏🏻

So compassionate Tony. Everyone here in the US (except Native Americans) has roots in immigration. We should welcome those seeking refuge and a better life with open arms. We certainly have the means to do so.

A very powerful and moving reminder of the plight of others... and how we respond with love. Thanks, as always. Namaste. 💛🙏 xxx

Touching ! Simply touching!
Beautifully done 🙏❤️☮️
