How can I help my brother When my own pain won't abate? How can I lift my sister When I can't move my own weight? How can I feed the hungry When I can't fill my own plate? I help folk who feel guilty Yet I can't clean my own slate... Is there a way to move them Through the vagaries of fate?
There are principles in life Which always undergird Many are the trials of life I've only seen one-third Sometimes we are captured A sadly cag-ed bird But one thing ALWAYS brightens days Perhaps you may have heard A smile that reaches to the eyes
And a KINDLY SPOKEN WORD.

Sometimes I don't feel like I have much to give. But it is at those times when I don't feel I can help anyone that I realize that God is giving me a gift. The gift of encouragement. And that's what I want to pass on to you.
Undergird = to lift a boat from the water with ropes to clean the underside.
