This poem was inspired after visiting the Make A Child Smile website.
I hope you will take the time to read the poem and to visit the website(click the banner).
Please help make a difference in these children's lives.
This poem was written by me, but I have had permission from the
Make A Child Smile owner to use the name and to post the poem.
If you have some loose change you can spare,
Then here I give you this dare.
It'll be well worth your while,
To help make a child smile.
These kids are different you see,
They are very sick unlike you and me.
They have a heart like yours and mine.
Can you spare a lttle of your time,
To send something as simple as a card?
It's not all that hard.
Just dropping them a few lines,
Can help them over time.
Just imagine the smiles on their face.
A smile, that can't be easily replaced.
It'll make them feel ever so good,
Just like you and I knew it could.
You'll have yourself a new friend,
A friendship that'll last until the end.
Just think of the memories you'll share,
Just because you showed them that you cared.
So, if you have some loose change to spare,
Then here I give you this dare.
It'll be well worth your while,
To help make a child smile.
