DID YOU?

She sat alone in an old folks home,
    Lonely and old and gray;
    She wished that someone-just anyone,
    Would call on her that day.                    DID YOU?

He lay for days on his hospital bed,
    The hours were long, and hard;
    He wished someone-just anyone,
    Would write him a card.                         DID YOU?

Her loved one had died, just a few months ago,
    All sad and lonely she sat;
    She wished that someone-just anyone,
    Would drop in for a chat.                        DID YOU?

He was far from home on foreign soil,
    Feeling sick, lonely, and blue;
    He wished that someone-just anyone,
    Would write him a line or two.                DID YOU?

She spent long hours, that teacher,
    Giving the best she knew;
    She wished that someone-just anyone,
    Would say a brief "THANK YOU."        DID YOU?

That matter of Christian service-
    We are living it day by day;
    When we help someone-just anyone,
    As we walk along life's pathway.             DID YOU?
