Just a thought for the new year....

Will It Be Enough?

When your friend has had a bad day
And her words seem short and gruff,
Will you take the time to listen
And will it be enough?

When your sibling’s life is troubled
And they feel their journey’s rough,
Will you share some words of kindness
And will it be enough?

When your parents become feeble
And they seem all in a huff,
Will you take the time to care for them
And will it be enough?

When you’ve lived your final days on earth
And you stand before the Lord
Will you say, “I know I did my best”
And will it be enough?
