Don’t count your chickens before they hatch
Plan but with this thought in mind
Often our plans and God’s plans don’t match
Still, always be gentle and kind
Don’t push the person ahead of you, dear
To get to the front of the line
Soon today’s trouble is yesterday’s tear
So always be gentle and kind
Testing and trial are life’s Certainty
Proving the measure behind
Smiles big and bright when the day is sunny
And we all seem gentle and kind
Don’t heap up more than you need; be content
Lest we become people-blind
Don’t let greed gobble up gifts God has lent
Always be gentle and kind
Always leave room at your table, my friend
For an ‘angel unaware’
We never know what waits ‘round the next bend
Or what will shape our next prayer
Don’t borrow care from tomorrow, my love
Life’s strife is present-designed
Granting grand chance for example to prove
Who truly is gentle and kind
So, don’t count your chickens before they hatch
Plan but be humble of mind
Often our plans and God’s plans don’t match
Still, always be gentle and kind
