People

People with burdens that weigh them down
People with burdens are not always found
Carrying burdens visible to the eye
And you only know by the tears in their eye
So if you know someone troubled
Who’s burdens seem grave
Offer to help them try to be brave
Often their burdens are greater than yours
If you can ease their’s most likely yours
Yes yours will seem lighter
Yours will seem less
When you compare yours
This I will guess
Helping them with their woes
Will help you to find
Better ways to cope with thine
