So short is life...

Life! we have but one to live...
To be polite, to help, to give...
To set some standards, for our young...
To go and play, to have some fun...
To give at least, a smile a day...
To help some have, a happy day...
A happy voice, a compliment...
Was that a nice ,gesture sent?...
Five minutes spent, to say hello...
To the dear old man, what a nice fellow...
A helping hand, to the fallen child...
A face so sad, hes nearly wild...
The dear old lady, on the bus...
Help her on, without a fuss...
A widow with, no-one to care...
A cup of tea, shes glad your there...
A poor old man, in dreams he yells...
From stories of, the war he tells...
The Mum with kids, the Dad has gone...
It just so seems, so very wrong...
Pop on over, stay a while...
Watch Mums face, turn to a smile...
Dosnt take, so much to care...
We can even, shift some fear...
Life dosnt need to be, all strife...
We all can help, So short is life...
