You never know just when in life
one word will have a mark;
To help someone, to save a life,
to mend a shattered heart!

So often times in passing by,
someone along your way;
The slightest gesture possible,
could change a life today!

You don't know what they're goin' through,
unless you take the time;
To listen, help, encourage them
to walk a different line!

With shattered dreams and broken hearts,
they feel they can't go on;
Unless you ask, you'll never know,
until they're dead and gone!

Now when you see them passing by,
so bogged down with despair;
Just take the time to lend a hand
to help them up from there!

So try it now, to show you care,
for those along the way;
This might be it, your only chance,
to help someone today!

To help them grow, to flourish now,
to plant, if just one seed;
the smallest hope, an answered prayer
may be just all they need!
