Fulfillment and Purpose
by Sandy Dickson
Every person has his own ability
To help in some way, contribute to making
The world a more beautiful and cheerful place,
By giving in some way and not just taking.
If we only live to please ourselves, that’s all,
Our own amusement, advancement, our own gain,
Our lives are empty, fruitless and purposeless,
Lacking value for each day we so remain.
But having a true caring and giving heart,
To serve in a myriad of blessing ways,
As fellow helpers in God’s noble army,
Gives a sweetness and strength to all our life’s days.
