Black and white thoughts

There's a story in each of us
that's for sure.
One never knows
what another endures...






Could be pain
could be suffering.
Or maybe something
just as heart-rendering...





Or it could be love
it could be money.
Or even something silly
like milk and honey...





In today's world
things are kind of tough.
But for the poor and hungry
it will always be rough...





So there's a story in each of us
you can't tell by looking.
Your neighbor might be sad
your co-worker might be lonely...





Offer someone a smile
it costs you nothing.
You'll get a smile back, I dare to say,
and that, for sure, will drive your own blues away.
