Ourselves Only
If I could just make someone smile;
it could show them, I care;
if I could make them, happy for a while;
I’d be an answer to prayer.
There is no limit to what can be done;
miracles rarely happen on demand;
everyone can unleash the power of one;
miracles happen; when planned.
We are the Master’s hands and feet;
all were created to serve;
we weren’t born, to swim in defeat;
helping others; takes nerve.
Too many live their lives all alone;
dreaming that someone was there;
an empty house is never a home;
when lacking another to share.
We spend half our life, chasing success;
when success is an empty dream;
everyone needs one to love and caress;
not a late night television screen.
We walk a store; a frown on our face;
it takes too much effort to smile;
the Lord looks down on man’s disgrace;
a missed chance to be love for a while.
How hard can it be; to speak a kind word;
to many who are sad and lonely;
such insensitivity is more than absurd;
when thinking of ourselves, only.
