When you see a poor old woman
looking at her scanty store
she counts them through tears
when she is short by a penny
then life is tough.
When the winds batter you days on
the water having flooded your house
when there is no life in sight
to pull out your drowned self
then life is tough.
When you see a little girl in pain
who picks rags for a living
crying out to her dear mother
when she prods her to pick more
then life is tough.
When the little abandoned dog
in the rain, with nothing to eat
and nowhere to go, knowing not
what to do and looks at you
as a savior, when you ignore him
then life is tough.
When the hungry come to your door
and ask you for a pan of gruel
and you turn them away
saying the meal isn’t ready
when you just had your fill
then life is tough..

When you feel you are going through a trough in life, take a look around, it is not bad as it looks…
Hopefully we can help it be a little less tough for those around us.
Sure, small gestures made with care, go a long way to help the not so lucky as us.
Life becomes easier if we exhibit some compassion towards other beings.
