Lend a Helping Hand

There's always some poor soul, I find,
whose life is in a mess!
Someone, who really needs some help,
in times of strife and stress.

They need their spirits lifted,
sometimes that's all it takes!
It really is surprising,
the world of difference, that it makes!

A smile, an act of kindness,
will do more than words can say!
Don't wait for folks to ask for help,
be there for them today!
