So Sweet!

Lost Kindness

What is the purpose
Of being so kind
When those that you help
Leave you behind

Is there meaning to life
When you spend it alone
When there's no one to share
Or to call you their own

The value of a life
Comes from those it will touch
But there's a danger to some
Of giving too much

When you constantly give
And everyone takes
You run out of the love
That's not easy to make

When you give too much of yourself
And no one gives back
It leaves a hole in your soul
And faith you will begin to lack

In a world where self
Is more important than all
Kindness is less effective
Than punching a wall

Although kindness is lost
On most of the crowd
There are still a precious few
Who may someday be found

We must continue to be kind
Despite what we see
Behind one of those faces
A true heart may be

There are many false hearts
You will meet in your life
They'll hurt and abuse you
Cut you like a knife

Whatever you live through
Makes you stronger still
Stay strong in your faith
And listen for God's will

So when you're weary and worn
And you're at your rope's end
Think of that one person
To whom you'll become a true friend
