Sharing and Caring
by Barbara Philbrook

These are two very important functions to me,
by sharing and caring we show just how much we mean to to each other you see.

Sharing our joys, telling each other how we are blessed in our life,
sharing our fears asking for support during times of strife.

Caring where each is in their life, knowing what they feel,
and whether to rejoice with them or send up a prayerful appeal.

None of us walk this life completely alone,
we have our Heavenly Father as the Holy Word has shown.

But we have others God sent to walk with us here on earth,
so of His precious love we'd be reminded and know in Him we have much worth.

We call them our friends, some we just haven't yet come to know,
but as each comes into our life, the circle of friendship continues to grow.

Caring and sharing, that's how we show each other how much we really matter,
when one is sad we shed a tear, when in joy it makes our heart patter.

Caring and sharing, that's what God intends us to do,
it makes life on earth that much more delightful and easier to get through.
