THERE'S A STORY...

There's a story in each of us
that's for sure
One never knows
what another endures

Could be pain
could be suffering
Or maybe something
just as heart-rendering

Or it could be love
it could be money
Or even something silly
like milk and honey

In today's world
things are kind of tough
But for the poor and hungry
it will always be rough

So there's a story in each of us
you can't tell by looking
Your neighbor might be sad
your co-worker might be lonely

Offer someone a smile
it costs you nothing
You'll get a smile back, I dare to say
and that, for sure, will drive your own blues away.
