Just show a little kindness

When someone is down and out -
don't leave him in the dumps...
what he really needs is -
just some caring and sharing...
When someone is feeling sick at heart -
don't ever tell him to just forget...
for if he can so easily forget,
he wouldn't have been sick in the heart...
When someone is feeling sad and blue -
just show him a little kindness...
for that may well be just what he needs -
to get himself out of the blues...
Just show a little kindness -
it's the least thing you could do...
just by showing a little kindness -
and you would have gone a long, long way with him...

Taking a break

Remember to always take a break:
when the going's tough -
just take a break,
when things get tougher -
all the more reason to take a break;
and when things are going just great -
still, take a break:
one's a booster; the other's a 'retainer' -
one's to jack you up, sky high;
the other's to hold your floating feet, firmly to the ground!

So, i'll always find time to just take a break -
so that yesterday's sorrow will never be sadder,
today's chores will even seem lighter,
and tomorrow's hopes will glow much brighter...

I am what I am

I love my life -
'coz you are in it...
i love the simple things in life -
'coz you showed me how...
i love the beauty in nature -
'coz you taught me how...
and i love to drive around the countryside -
coz you love it too...

I've always strived to be what i want to be -
fighting against the odds...
i've always wanted to uphold the truth -
no matter what the cost...
i've always been all all alone -
for trying to not trade in my principles,
for something inferior, something less...
not wanting to throw in the towel -
and give up what i believe is true and right...

Now i believe what i do is just and right -
'coz you believe in me and trust what i'm doing...
now i know i can be what i am - and need not conform -
'coz you've always loved me for what i am, not what i should be...

A friend who's selfless, steadfast and fair

I've got a great friend who is Heaven-sent:
selfless, steadfast and very, very fair - that's him,
friendly, caring, and generous to no end - that's also him,
determined, courageous and full of energy - that's definitely him!
... so God sent me this friend - to help me find my way in life -
God sent me this friend - that i may find:
happiness in my heart, peace in my soul...;
God gave me this pillar of strength:
that i may learn to be brave -
and, like him, have the heart of a lion...
in everything that i do - big or small -
my pillar of strength, should things go wrong...

"My love will get you home"

You are like a weary traveller -
you've traversed the thick jungle alone...
both far and wide, high and low -
and conquered the valleys and the hills...
But now you are weary -
and your tired bones need to rest...
so i'll lay your feathered mat, and air your quilt -
that you may lie down to rest your tired back a wee bit...
And i'll seat myself by your side -
and tell you the tales you so love to hear...
and i'll sooth your brows and cool your forehead -
and watch over you as you sleep...
