Charity By The Northern Rose

Those who have climbed
to the top of the ladder
rarely remember to look down below.

Remember those
you have left in your past.
Never scowl at them
or think them to be below you.

You owe it to them
to lend a helping hand
for without them
your ladder would have caved in.

You have nice sturdy rungs
rather than infested wood.
So please take a second
to give thanks and help.

By the Northern Rose.
