Before you think of saying an unkind word
\nThink of someone who can’t speak<\/p>\n
Before you complain about the taste of your food
\nThink of someone who has nothing to eat<\/p>\n
Before you complain about your husband or wife
\nThink of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion<\/p>\n
Before you complain about life
\nThink of someone who died too early<\/p>\n
Before you complain about your children
\nThink of someone who desires children but they’re barren<\/p>\n
Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn’t clean or sweep
\nThink of the people who are living in the streets<\/p>\n
Before whining about the distance you drive
\nThink of someone who walks the same distance with their feet<\/p>\n
And when you are tired and complain about your job
\nThink of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job<\/p>\n
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
\nRemember that not one of us are without sin and we’ll all answer to one maker<\/p>\n
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
\nPut a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around<\/p>\n
