Before you think of saying an unkind word


Think of someone who can't speak



Before you complain about the taste of your food


Think of someone who has nothing to eat



Before you complain about your husband or wife


Think of someone who's crying for a companion


Today before you complain about life


Think of someone who died and didn't have to chance to repent



Before you complain about your children


Think of someone who desires children but they're barren


Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep


Think of the people who are living in the streets



Before whining about the distance you drive


Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet



And when you are tired and complain about your job


Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job




But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another


Remember that may be you are full of sins




And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down


Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around and still able to do your deeds
