'When We Think' Poem by Linda Winchell

When we think of all those aches and pains we have
We've got too much time on our hands.
When we think of all those unpaid bills
think of those who haven't a home or land.

When we think we've reached the end of our rope
look at those who haven't the hands to grab.
When we sit all day and moan and groan
We've got too much time to think and feel sad.

When we think of all that this world needs done
we are now doing what God made us for.
When we think that we've given all we can give
dig deeper, God knows we need to give more.

When we think we can't take one more step
place one foot in front of the other.
When we think that the worlds coming to and end
don't run and hide and take cover!

When we think God's done with His job in our life
think again we've much more to learn.
When we think the worlds problems are not ours solve
God is jotting down our lack of concern.

When thinking becomes more then just a past time
go to God and He will show you the way.
When we think we've thought all we can think
remember, our tomorrows are numbered God given days.
