Sunny Side Up

I have often wondered

In times of great despair,

If just a simple kind word

Might lighten someone’s cares;

Or if I’d sit and listen,

Giving full attention to…

All they were saying;

I think it’d help, don’t you?

It’s not always in words spoken,

Or even things I do.

It’s just in knowing someone,

Truly cares for you.

I may not have the answers

But this I know for sure,

When life for me, turns upside down,

A hug might be the cure.

So if you’re feeling lonely,

Or just a little blue,

Just call on me, I’ll be there.

I’ll even pray with you.

My words may not be flowery,

‘Tho spoken from my heart,

They’ll be lined in silver;

By the Spirit, God imparts.

Days will look much brighter,

Full, will be your cup.

Joy will spring forth from your heart;

You’ll be sunny side up!
