Lending A Hand


A whole bed of beautiful flowers
One doing not so good~
The masses all in bloom so
But one looks unlike what it should~
It's on that one I will concentrate
And fertilize it best I can~
To have it look as lovely
And beside the others thus to stand~
A small tree within my backyard
Full of bird life small~
And one sitting all on it's own
It's that one 'll whistle and I'll call~
I'll feed it and I'll watch it
As it sits there all alone~
Doing what ever I can do
To make it feel at home~
Even when I was a lad
I always felt so cool~
Had so many friends around
As they sat about the swimming pool~
But I'd see one sitting on their own
I'd wander over and say good day~
Ask why don't they join us
I've always been that way~
It is just the way I am
Don't take a lot to do~
Seems to me so easy
Might even save someones day it's true~
There has been times I too have been there
And felt to some extent alone~
But usually there has been someone
Who made me feel at home~
Just a little effort
Is sometimes needed on the day~
To simply give away a smile it's so worthwhile
And hold out a hand to come what may~
They say what goes around
Comes around sometimes it's true~
And in this life of woe and strife
I thought one day that could be you~
