Helping others is a friendly deed,
That we should do each day
By seeing other friends in need
And helping them on their way.
Compassion is also a thing we all must learn,
If we see aa hurt or lonely person,
And our heart for them does yearn,
Then we should get up and do what needs to be done.
Character is being what we are,
Without fear of what others will think,
Sticking out even if what we do is rare,
And knowing God will help us then all our doubts will sink.
