The Empty House

The Empty House

There used to be a sign "Welcome"
outside of the front door, now gone;
the weathered garage door, with a
broken-glass hole, through which
a lonely ghost to stare at the familiar sign,
propped outside the door to the neighbor;
the ghost wonders, if no one comes, will
they also move away?

A counselor would say, "Reach out."
A wise one said, "Treat others as you would
like them do for you." If you want them to visite
you, do it yourself first. It should be mutual,
to be more going and enjoyable.

  1. Wouldn’t it be nice if one doesn’t have to give first in order to receive? 😊 When it doesn’t happen, try to initiate a kindness may trigger others to do the same. Thank you, Susi, for sharing your thoughts.
