The world is filled with deeply caring individuals. There’s hope as we reach out to humankind, hope that life will change. We need to realise the profoundness of our care in this over intellectualised society – our care is likened to the “crack of light in the darkness” that will get us all through these trying times.
Functional cities turned into urban decay
Crime, diseases, potholes, unkept pavements and dirt everywhere
Water levels declining brought on by incessant power outages
The cities have fallen into disrepair
How do I hold on to Neighbourly Love?
Society threatening to move whilst others do escape the city
Yet it is impossible to run away from problems
As no change occurred and mindsets still remains the same
Facing them head-on is a must wherever you are in the world
How do I show Neighbourly Love?
Its doomsday in certain places of the world
People are dying, trapped under heaps of rubble after thumping earthquakes
Massive rescue operation is underway for some
For others living in a war-torn country it’s entirely a different situation
Please let’s reach out and show our Neighbourly Love!

That’s beautiful Henrietta. When I see the misery our neighbouring countries are facing in the world, then suddenly potholes and load shedding are no longer such big issues. Neighbourly love indeed (and perspective) 💌.

A beautiful and much-needed write! I expect people to be so cold and distant but lately, I’ve been meeting such kind and polite strangers and peers, it’s such a joy to find peace in unexpected connections. Beautiful and meaningful writing as always, Henrietta!❤️

Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts!!.. the ugly and the negative gets the headlines these days as the media tries to sell their ideology but with today’s technology we are able to communicate around the world and gather knowledge and the truth about everyone and can work together to continue to make a better world for everyone!!.. 🙂
Hope your path is paved with peace, love and happiness and until we meet again..
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
The rains fall soft upon your fields
May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you.
