If You Only Would

There’s so much you could do if you only would.
Evil to turn into channels of good;
Lives to brighten and hearts to be warmed
Neighborhood services to be performed.

Old folks to visit, and young folks to guide;
Somebody somewhere for whom to provide.
Wide is the field if you’re willing to do
Something for others less favored than you.

Lamps of affection to trim and relight.
Wherever you look there are wrongs to put right.
People and problems to be understood.
There is so much you could do – if you only would.
