Action Superior To Words
In all of our life here
so much said by hot air
if we would think right back
said much nonsense wise one's rare
What effect do words really have?
because really when all's said and done
how much wisdom do we really say
where are the life's that's been won
Now far better to have told others
how well they have really done
to be an encourager to everyone
that's far better to shine some sun
To be on the receiving end too
of being told you've done so well
it really boosts you so much
makes up for these times you fell
So when looking back over the years
of the many ups and downs gone through
trust that in all life's actions
in your real self have remained true
