I take care of my family when they don't feel good. I always make my Great Great (Great grandmother) smile when I sing and dance for her. She is 86 years old. I got $5 for doing a good job and I gave it back to someone who needed it for their family.

Poet

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I write poems that, I hope, illuminate the beauty and truth I find in this crazy, maddening world. With any luck and a little grace, they (I hope) help others to do the same...and while it's a lot to hope for, I hope that it contributes in some small way to lessening Evil.

Why are you participating?:

I'm here because I think there's a lot of Evil out there and anything I can do to push back against it, I try and do. I think it's easy to get complacent or even to despair in the face of it -- this is one small pushback.
