Reach out....

and touch somebody's hand.....

I am cognizant of the importance of the friendships I have made, lost and regained.  The people I surround myself with help make me who I am.  I would like to think that I will always be there for them as they would be there for me, but what of those whom I do not count amongst my family, friends or acquaintances?  This quote by Churchill reminds me that we are more than ourselves and those we surround ourselves with, we are a part of this incredible community on Earth.  Our humanity requires that we reach out and make a life by giving to others.

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

~~Winston Churchill

Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand

~~Diana Ross

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can

(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving

Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand

Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
