When you are wounded,

When you are hurt,

Simply seek out and comfort

The one who hurts worse.

They trudge everywhere,

They're not hard to find.

Weary with burdens

So sharp and unkind.

But helping has helped me.

You need to know, too.

This works, it's a comfort,

Each time it's been used.

There's a lot of truth in that. Great work and beautiful message. If only more people would take the time to look beyond themselves more often. Love these lines:

Simply seek out and comfort

The one who hurts worse.

They trudge everywhere,

They're not hard to find.

Weary with burdens

So sharp and unkind.
