the road gets tough.
We give it our all
and that is enough.
Friends share our toils
and carry us through.
We learn about love
and generosity too.
We sing of the gift
of a warm embrace.
It lifts our burden
from a weary place.
We learn to look
for others in need.
With grateful hearts,
we spread love’s seed.
Some days are long;
the road is tough.
We give our best
and that is enough.
