Many times I come to find this life has got me down
I'm not sure of the reason but no smile can be found
I never seem to understand why this feeling comes over me
Yet it comes and goes no matter what and takes me to my knees
I try to look for good things in each and everyday
And give someone a helping hand as I go on my way
To be a friend and neighbor to those that have a need
A kind word to those that need it and quietly plant a seed
This world would be a better place if we took the time to care
By helping those around us with moments we can share
Then those days we come to find that life has got us down
We can think of all the good things and smile instead of frown
