Loneliness gives birth to future joys This is something you will have to find out But only if you make an effort Then a friend you'll find, no doubt. Don't sit at home and be forlorn Your mind will take control It will convince you no one cares That's when you'll want to be consoled. Become a part of everyday living Open up and invite the world in Don't let your life pass you by You won't be coming this way again. Do something with your life each day Endeavor to make new friends That's how you keep from being lonely But your heart and hand you have to extend. If you stay behind locked doors Then lonely you will always be You won't be living, just merely existing Open up your door and set yourself free. Chee Chee Martin
