Would you say you were fine
To say Good day, To take the time
To someone with slanted eyes
or to another who's babies cries
Can you smile at a child
Who doesn't have a tongue
Perhaps everyone has noticed
That the little boy can't run
Could you give a lost soul confidence
So that they may succeed
In this mixed up world
Of what ever will be, will be
Giving your time and energy
where it is needed the most,
Will make your heart grow stronger
I don't mean to boast.
Would you reach out to a man
Who offered you his deformed hand,
Could you buy someone a meal,
Who sooner or later will probably steal.
Chubby you may not like
Thin may be in
Nothing is as heart warming
As a face with a toothless grin
