Sometimes

Sometimes
By Franklin Price

Sometimes my joints are aching
On this trip of life I'm taking
But I wouldn't have it  any other way
In this joyful life I'm living
There's some taking and some giving
I'm just passing through not really here to stay

I try to bring a smile to faces
Of all people of all races
As I travel through this life from day to day
That I know them doesn't matter
If they're skinnier or fatter
To treat them ugly really doesn't pay

Can't be looking down on others
They're my sisters and my brothers
Yes everyone I have a chance to meet
As I while away the hours
To extend my hand empowers
Me to make a friend of everyone I greet

Have to go the sun is bright
I've made it through another night
Always grateful to a loving God above
I leave this advice for you
Would not hurt to try it too
Don't spread hate around just spread a little love
