Before you throw in the towel...

Before you throw in the towel
Before you give in to the pain
Before you decide to end it all
I have a few things I'd like to say

Have you shared your love with someone today?
Did you share your story today with another who needed to hear it?
Were the last moments you had with a child/spouse/loved one spent doing something special?
Do you have an idea of exactly what contribution you have made to the lives of those around you?

Did you notice that your loving hug/touch made him smile?
Did they thank you for sharing your story and appreciate it sincerely?
The joy of that special moment, did you notice how it made the sun shine brighter?
Can you really not see that without you here, there are some people who will not be fully developed into their best selves?

So, do you still want to throw in the towel?
Are you going to give the pain the power over you?
Is the end really today, this hour, this minute?

Do you not realise that there may be one person who needs your
Love
Story
Special moment
Life contribution.......

Have I said enough?

I hope so...
