Do You Really Do As You Think You Do

Do you do as you really think you do?


         as the world burns the children cry
        do you need to wonder why
        tears of sorrow run down dirty faces
        do you care or dare to know why
        the cause is never the cure for pain.


       as we seek the light of the eternal night
       we turn our eyes slowly away from it
       do you know or just think it goes away
       it takes more than words to make it the way.
       

       my wish is to find the way to brighten the hurt away
       how can i fix this mess when it is all such a mess
      a drop in the ocean sets the tide in motion
      those hungry eyes look into your soul and wish for small.

      it takes so little to make it right
      for the small to seek the light
      be good and kind and in your heart you will find 
      What you should do!

True hearts hear and see the fleeting light. Truth and kindness shine the pathway my friend. And the trip is worth the price if one strays not from that path. Heart, Message and Truth are tops..A7 .
