Though my troubles and my worries
are sometimes all that I can see,
still I always must remember
life's not only about me.
Other souls are also hurting
and I know that it is God's plan
to reach out to help another,
to extend to them my hand.
With this purpose as my focus -
to be a comfort to a friend,
all my troubles and my worries
seem to fade out in the end.
It is one of God's true lessons
how my walk is meant to be,
true happiness I find when
life's not only about me.
