Our Needs
A little more patience
with the faults of other folks,
A little more charity
When a worldly act provokes,
A little more devotion
to the ones whom we should love
A little more reliance
on the God who rules above,
A little more forbearance
with the cross we have to bear,
A little better learning
by all that is right and fair,
A little more giving
of the things we have to give
Would make this world a better place
for you and me to live.
A little less prejudice,
A little less hate,
A little less ridicule,
About our good and great,
A little less vanity,
A little less show,
A little less of telling
All the scandal that we know,
A little less complaining
O'er the ills we have to bear,
A little less of wickedness,
A little less of sin
would make this world a pleasant spot
to be abiding in.
Charles E. Warner
