Should you find it hard
To get to sleep tonight ...
Just remember the homeless family
Who has no bed to lie in.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic,
Don't despair! ...
There are people in this world
For whom driving
Is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work ...
Think of the man who has no work
Should you despair
Over a relationship gone bad ...
Think of the person
Who has never known
What it's like to love
And to be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing
Of another weekend ...
Think of the woman
In some third world country,
Working twelve hours a day,
Seven days a week,
For just $15.00 to feed her family
Should your car break down,
Leaving you miles away
From assistance ...
Think of the paraplegic
Who would just love
To have the opportunity
To take that walk.
Should you notice
A new gray hair in the mirror ...
Think of the cancer patient
In chemo-therapy
Who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself
At a loss and pondering,
What is life all about
And what is my purpose? ...
Be thankful!
There are those who didn't live
Long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself
The victim of other people's
Bitterness, ignorance,
Smallness or insecurities ...
Remember that things could
Always be worse,
You could be one of them!!!
Should you feel depressed
Because of your weight ...
Remember,
There is no cure for AIDS
Remember that someone else today ...
Could be one of us tomorrow!
