Lets Strive To Better One Life

Today, let's try to make for someone,
their world a better place.
Through some small thoughtful gesture,
or mere smile upon our face.

Be it in line of a cheerful note,
or through some funny card.
Letting one know they're thought of,
or that their missed shouldn't be hard.

Perhaps to God, a word of prayer,
on their behalf we'll air.
Or maybe as that one has need,
we'll simply show we care.

Just a simple errand may be all,
that someone needs this day.
Just make it known to us Lord,
and we'll be cheerfully on our way.

It may be for that someone,
fighting depression or despair.
That God has chosen us to be,
their special friend and care.

We'll give without remembering,
so praise, one will not owe.
For from your word we're taught,
we always reap just as we sow.

Whatever we may encounter this day,
let's retain joy within our heart.
Giving praise to God throughout it all,
for allowing us some small part.
