" So Long Thy Power Has Kept Me, Sure It Will Still Lead Me On "
.............................................................................................
It is important to forge our bonds
especially within our family, and then spread out
cords that tie us with love and affection
reminders and prompters for when the going gets tough
so take great care of your relationships with each other
at the end of the day. it is all we've got
and never let the sun go down on an arguement
kiss and make up before it is too late
life can be very hard, and we all need a helping hand
be kind to each other, whenever and wherever you can
pause for a while in reflection, from the rat race of existence
listen to the melodius bird song, take a little time to reminisce
recall where you sprang from. the gentle hand of grace
so if you know someone who is suffering today
go to them at once, its your obligation to be there
listen intently to all their troubles, take them on as your own
because when you give your comfort, the problem is often solved
lift the other person's spirits up, that's what really they need most of all
when the dark clouds dissipate, they'll see the way to go
hold their hand and cherish them
put your arm around them and give encouragement and consolation
show by your actions, you'll support them through and through
even when they are wrong, a good friend will stand by
instill confidence and determination, lead by example
remind them we are spirits, and nothing can do us harm
show them how to rise above their afflictions, and put sorrow to flight
bolster and reinforce their faith in full measure
and their will to live, will shine brightly on again
