Could We
Are the people of today, really trying to be our brother’s keeper? With worries of tomorrow, and wonderings of things that might have been? Advice is easily given, but we will not get in any deeper. Your problems are your own, remember you’re not next of kin. Could we as people do more than talk while their troubles still mount up of heart and mind? If in their life we could walk. I think we would listen and be more kind.
