Don’t forget
the words of kindness
others have spoken to you;
Don’t forget
those in need of kindness;
speak kindly to them.
Don’t forget
the many who helped you
in your time of need;
Don’t forget
to help the one
who is in need that you know.
Don’t forget
the prayers of concern
someone offered for you;
Don’t forget
to pray for those
you know who are in need.
Don’t forget—
life is short,
it will soon be gone;
Don’t forget
to live for Christ
as this may be
the last day
you have.

What a wonderful poem! Yes, too often we are too engrossed with the negative things in life that being grateful for all the kindness we receive is what we forget the most.
This Poem reminds me of what ever you do in your work place, family, and friend always do not forget that living thru Christ is a life with full of happiness.
Such an important message – too often I am like the Israelites in the time of Exodus, who constantly forgot the goodness and power of God.
