But When
The poem below reminds us even though we are busy we should not just think a kindly deed but we should actually take the time and do it.
We are going to do a kindly deed,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
Our sympathy give in a time of need,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
We will do so much in the coming years;
We will banish the heartaches and doubts and fears,
And we'll comfort the lonely and dry their tears,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
We will give a smile to a saddened heart,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
Of the heavy burdens we'll share a part,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
Sometime we're going to right the wrong;
Sometime the weak we will help make strong;
Sometime we'll come with Love's old, sweet song,
Sometime, perhaps, but when?
Poet: E. A. Brininstool
