Give it to me Raw

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone ...

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,

reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.


As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.


One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

~ Sam Levenson



Note:
This is the complete poem Audrey Hepburn read to hers sons, Sean and Luca on Christmas Eve 1992. The author, Sam Levenson wrote it for his grandchild.

Pomegranate seeds can add fall color to any dish. They are good for more than just their color and flavor, they are full of nutrients, too. Pomegranates are full of Vitamin C, one pomegranate contains nearly 50% of the daily value of Vitamin C. ...
