Nobody's Life

Nobody's life can ever be complete without smiling
at everyone passing by, it's not something out of line;
I wouldn't live with people who can't be sharing:
say hello to someone and see that face really shine!

Miserable people live less, be a happy person anytime;
every heart can sing with human voice, if we let it sing with us:
how brighter our day would be, if we chased away all sadness:
that lonely lady seems hopeless, she misses sunshine!

Nobody's life can be thrown away, it's a gift from God;
who doesn't show a bit of compassion will not get none,
think of old age, how unpromising is tomorrow for some:
give up vanity and be generous, give away your gold!  

Go around your neighborhood and find the lonely ones,
hold their hand, it's the comfort they need to believe again;
brighten up their dreary days, they had enough tears and pain:
Martha lives next door, I stop by and we chat for hours! 

Nobody's life is worthless, if there's dignity and honesty;
that loud preacher on the pulpit has a profound ideology:
he's the humblest man alive who's committed to the Word,
listen to him, get rid of all anger and put down your sword!

Excellent poem. Good advice for everyone. We need to stop and think we are all children of God no matter where in life one is at.
