Love Doesn't Make The World Go Round
by Barbara Philbrook

Love doesn't make the world go round,
but it is what makes the ride worthwhile I've found.

Love received is very precious to me,
but the greatest joy I've found is loving others unconditionally.

Just as God loves me with all of His heart,
it gives me such pleasure that same love to impart.

Doing for others and making their life better some how,
is how I enjoy my life just now.

Saying something kind to lift another out of depression,
a simple word to change someone's expression.

Offering a shoulder to lean upon to another,
an act of support to a forlorn brother.

Offering to help out  when someone has a need,
being there for them without their having to plead.

Sharing testimonies that give others hope,
when they feel they have reached the end of their rope.

Intervention and agreement in prayer,
this is just some of the ways I try to show how much I care.

Love doesn't make the world go round,
but love makes life easier to live I've found.
