Life's Call

In spite of all

That we have planned

We owe the world

A helping hand

No matter who

Or how or where

We ought to lend

A listening ear

So many words

To speak the mind

Pray that we choose

The good and kind

Arms hold and hug

Lips kiss and smile

Two feet to walk

Love’s second mile

In spite of all

We could-should-would

We owe life’s call

Our gratitude
