Thank You For Making The World A Better Place

,
Tears of Joy
Thank you!
Whenever you help another
You make the world a better place.
The world does not become better by a magician’s wand,
All of a sudden, as if by revolution.
It is made better for one person, by another,
One selfless, encouraging or inspirational act at a time.
For when the individual drops of kindness
Merge to become a trickle
And the trickles become a rivulet
Which, on merging, become a stream
The streams, in their turn a raging torrent
Then a mighty river
And the rivers, the ocean
Then, and only then
Will the tears of joy
Be greater than the tears of sadness in this world.
