Wait a Minute

Have I told you when I look at your life
All the wrong it is I see
How you need to get it together

Wait a minute...could that be me

You should be giving hope to the hopeless
Ready to lend a helping hand
Not be so inner focused

Wait a minute...is that who I am

Showing others what is of most value
In loving kindness and in truth
Giving them something to live for

Wait a minute...is that what I do

Making the most of every opportunity
Tossing worldly cares into the sea
Throwing caution into the wind

Wait a minute...

In this poem there is a message
That's not to hard to see
I'm pretty sure it was written
Especially for me
