Questions

Sometimes in the still of the evening,

When the chores of the day are done,

I sit alone in the twilight

And watch the setting sun.

In my heart I ponder the questions,

Have I honored my Lord today?

Have I picked up the cross and followed

In His footsteps, still leading the way?

Has my presence made a difference

In the life of a friend in need?

Have I cared enough to lend a hand,

Have I been a true friend indeed?

Have I taken the time to listen

To someone distraught and alone?

Have I welcomed the weary stranger,

Have I opened my heart and my home?

All around me there are people,

Discouraged, unable to cope;

Today, have I made a difference

And touched someone's life with new hope?
