| NEXT TIME Next time you feel the urge to whine Or you're in a terrible mood? Think of all the children everywhere Who lack simple things like food! Next time the boss is on your case Because you showed up late? Remember the millions of unemployed Who'd love that job you hate! Next time before the crying starts About the economy being so rough? Find a welfare mom with 3 small kids Tell her how YOUR life's tough... Next time you start complaining About your chronic lack of wealth Think about the dying millionaire Who'd trade his riches for your health! Next time you howl at the gas bill And what it costs to pay for heat? Spare a thought for all the families Who are living on the street! Next time you have a quarrel With your husband or your wife? Consider those who live alone With no one to share their life... Next time the kids get on your nerves And you just can't stand the noise? Ask a mom whose world was shattered when A drunk driver killed two small boys.... And next time you are on your knees Pray God teaches you how to share... Your time, your money, your love, your self For REAL misery is everywhere..... Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
