WHO CARES?
by J. Randal Matheny
A thousand friends may never call
When times are hard, the way goes rough,
And none may note our stumbled fall,
When we declare we've had enough;
When children leave and parents fail,
Or mates withhold their kind support,
The postman brings no distant mail,
Or neighborly concern falls short;
We ask ourselves if someone cares,
When we must face our trials alone,
When no one cheers and no one shares
The hard success we've lately won;
There's one who cares, and deeply so,
Who sees our every smile and tear;
He laughs with us and weeps our woe,
He never leaves, he's always near.
With such a constant friend as he,
In every weather, foul and fair,
We find ourselves of all men free
To show the lonely that we care.
