Do You Ever Be Grateful
Image 1
Do you ever feel like life has been unfair to you
Do you ever feel like you are going through a mood so blue
Do you feel like this even if you are surrounded by all the comfort of the world
Do you feel like this because maybe to your feelings love has been refused
Or maybe because your peers do have more than you do own
Or even because you are not as pretty as those for whom do you do fawn
Pray, have you ever wondered about how lucky you are
Indeed, life does be dual, but to you it has been fair
You do have a family, you do own a home, you do have food to fill your stomach
You do afford life's luxuries, you do get to buy that dress
To watch that movie, to attend that show, to delve into the mystic
Why, do you ever feel grateful that your being life does caress
Do you ever wonder about those poor trodden unlucky souls
Those that have never even seen house walls
Those for whom every day repeats itself
Those who do be engaged in fighting for the survival of the self
I say not you should draw your strength from the poor
But at least, you do be heartily grateful for what you have, and do help
Help by saving trees, by not wasting food, by making good use of your money
Help indeed, by donating, help by putting your hands into the service of humanity!
