There's more to life than just me, As I look about and around. Somewhere there is someone Whose needs are greater than mine.
I tried my best not to be selfish, But sometimes it was very difficult; Especially when I spent foolishly Not thinking of others' needs.
So I prayed to God above That He help me to be generous, And when I seem to want things, I should think first and be satisfied.
As the years weighed me down, I have learned to be frugal; God helped me in that regard, So now I think first before I spend.
I try to donate to charities; Not because it is tax deductable, But because I want to do it, And it does make me feel good.
I look at things differently now, Since God has changed my life; I am no longer totally selfish. What's more, I am satisfied!
