Wear That Coat

Wear the coat of kindness each and every day  
Ease the heart of others with a kind word or deed 
Abandon not your God and pray for all your needs    
Remember to be fair in life and always share a slice 

The world is often cruel and that is why we're scared  
Hold the hand that trembles and do it all for love    
Acquaint yourself to life forgive each slight and wrong  
Truth be told we only got one chance to do it right  
 
Count your blessings every day, own a grateful heart    
Offer up your sufferings they're only full in part        
Accept your misgivings, but all your talents too 
Take the best out of your day, leave the rest behind.
