It Could Happen To You

Honor and integrity Used to come so easily In a world that used to care Knowing how to love and share Neighbors helping all the time Giving someone their last dime Or the shirt right off their back Picking up a neighbors slack When they struggle to survive As a storm passed through their lives Now a days you will just see People being so stingy With their time and charity Never knowing it might be Them someday who might need help When life tightens up their belts Looking up with no one there Because once they didn't care As others struggled to provide For the loved ones in their lives So the next time you pass by A stranger with tears in sad eyes Take a moment-- be a friend Because in the very end You might be just as down Remember: What goes around comes around
