How much do you do
To make the world around better
Show other kindness
Help out the neighbors around
It doesn’t take all that much
Just saying hello
Or a smile to greet their day
Maybe a kind word
Just start small work your way up
But you just have to begin
What they call progress
Degrades the world around us
A bit at a time
Until the world around us
Is not the same as before
We are the portrait
Framed by the love of our God
Created workmanship
Painted with loving brushstrokes
Each a piece of His fine art
We need to revel
Cherish each piece of His art
Mark it as priceless
A masterpiece of His work
For us to cherish each day
Can’t hide anything
The eyes of God always sees
Deeds in light or dark
What you do for your rewards
What you do cause you love Him
We are all actors
Playing our parts in this life
On stage saying lines
We feel will get accolades
Lift our egos up higher
Gotta realize
You don’t know the tomorrows
You have left in life
So use each one you’re given
Like there is none left to use
In life’s frequent pains
Blessings can be seen and felt
Cause through pain comes strength
From God to carry you through
Keep you walking head held high
A once proud nation
Now a shell of past glory
Needs to shed some tears
Bend their hearts and bend their knees
Repent, time is running out
Weary traveler
what I feel I’ve now become
A lonely old soul
Grown tired of walking on
The so long and winding road
Only by God’s grace
My feet keep trudging along
Giving energy
As energy wains
Giving my life a purpose
As my purpose seems so lost
Used to want to be
Any other person but me
Wanted to be cool
The popular kid in my school
The one people looked up to
Anyone else but me
Then came an epiphany
I’m unique to me
Created, one of a kind
Living as no one but me
Whittlings
