How To Speak
by Laina Owen
We live and learn in this
old world
And as we older grow
Still more and more we
realize,
It's so little that we
know.
There's one thing that we
wish we knew,
It's where and when to
speak
And how to say the things
we feel
To help the poor and weak.
So many times we want to
talk,
But don't know what to say,
To give someone the
strength he needs
To help him on his way.
If God would grant one
perfect gift,
To one so small and weak,
The thing I'd ask is just
to know
When and where and how to
speak.
