Poem on Bearing One Another’s Burdens
If you’re feeling low and worthless; there seems nothing you can do,
Just take courage and remember, there is someone needing you.
You were created for a purpose, for a part in God’s great plan
Bear ye one another’s burdens so fulfill Christ’s law to man.
Are you a father, son or daughter? You’ve a work none else can do.
Are you a husband, wife or mother? There is someone needing you.
If perhaps in bed you’re lying, you can smile and press the hand
Of the one who tells his story, He will know you understand.
There are many sad and lonely, and discouraged, not a few
Who a little cheer are needing, and there’s someone needing you.
Someone needs your faith and courage. Someone needs your love and prayer.
Someone needs your inspiration, thus to help their cross to bear.
Do not think your work is ended; there is much that you can do,
And as long as you’re on earth, there is someone needing you.
