Happy Or Hurting We Bless

HAPPY OR HURTING WE BLESS

Seeking happiness in a world of misery
Is futile folly indeed.
We're not here just to be happy,
But to help others in need.

If in the course of life
We experience happiness,
We'll find that as we pass it on,
We are doubly blessed.

But if sorrow rips our hearts apart,
That helps us others to heal,
By letting those we find in pain,
Understand we care how they feel.
