WE ALL NEED HELP SOMETIMES ~ ALWAYS BE READY TO HELP !
IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY ~ AS I PASS ALONG
If I can cheer Somebody ~ with a word or song
It I can show Somebody ~ They are right or wrong
Then My living ~ shall not be in vain
If I can do my duty ~ as a Christian ought
If I can bring some Beauty ~ to a World so wrought
If I can spread the message ~ that the Master taught
Then My living ~ shall not be in vain
Then My living shall not be in vain
Then My living shall not be in vain
If I can help Somebody ~ as I pass along
THEN MY LIVING ~ SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ LOVE A & B 🧡🧡🧡

It does not need to be Christians who help people, we should all do our bit to help others with with or without religion.
Thanks UNCLE ANDY for pointing that important fact out ! I printed the POEM as sung beautifully by Mary Duff and close to Harry's origonal words. When I was in the Scouts our MANTRA was ~ Trusty ~ Loyal ~ HELPFUL ~ Brotherly ~ Courteous ~ Kind ~ Obedient ~ Cheerful ~ Thrifty ~ Pure in Body & Mind. A tall order for Teens but we DOB (did our best !) Scouts could be any RELIGION or (often) NONE. The point HARRY was making was that ~ As a Committed Christian He had the DESIRE & WILLINGNESS to be a HELPER at all times ~ OK ! You set an example to us all be being a Great Helper to JOYCE 24/7 ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
A fine write A&B. I can see the added spiritual dimension or plane in this (not areoplane!).
I'm not gonna help anyone - cos I'm gonna sing. Well, that's never helped anyone yet, only given them headaches (heehee).
Thanks UNCLE STEVE for a very droll comment ! When we are Helping People we do have to be aware of our Limitations. BRIAN & I are skilled FIRST-AIDERS and it has often come in useful in the case of ACCIDENTS etc ! When Angela sings for SENIORS etc it sends them to HEAVEN (not literally !) If you SANG : Im not sure where it would send them ?
Blessings & Peace for you & Funny Fido
Love in the Spirit ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
The traits of willingness and service to others comes over beautifully in your words and the song -- so true that we can ll be helpers whatever we do or do not believe. Good read dear duo.

GRAZIE LAURA ~ Nosta Cara Amica ! A nos piace que Tu amore Nostra Canto e Poesia ! Being a HELPER is a Gift of the Spirit so All Christians should be Helpers ! However as ANDY & FAITH point out that anybody can be a HELPER irrespective of their FAITH or LACK of FAITH ~ OK WE always try to helpful in our POEMS & REPLIES on MPS ~ OK
Abbracci e Baci per Tu di Nos
Tu Amici en Poesia ANGELA e BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
HS is sadly missed - I hope the lyrics are copyright free though.
Yes indeed UNCLE MIKE ~ HS was larger than life nd even though his hayday was befor my TIME ~ MY DAD says his overall influence was much greater that HE KNEW ! If more CHRISTIANS were like HS ~ CHRISTIANITY would rival *Sliced Bed* for Popularity. I'll have check to on COPYRIGHT but they are altered slightly and it is a TRIBUTE not PLAGERISM !
Blessings & Peace
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Something I used to lecture on at Uni - strictly any reproduction without express consent constitutes a breach even with changes in words. In fact copyright holders get even more irate with word changes.
This is also a major issue in the art world where artists who copy the work of others other than for their own learning experience are in constant danger of being found in breach even if they acknowledge the artist on whose work they have based their own.
There is plenty of case law on this issue which extends well beyond simple plagiarism. However whether anyone would pursue the matter is a long shot and it might be a risk worth taking.
Having said that recently one of my paintings was used by a website and although they acknowledged me as the artist I was furious that they had done so without my permission. I raised a complaint and they now pay me a copyright fee for the privilege.
To a hungry - a slice of bread
To a tired - a place to rest
To an injured - healing meds
To a naked - a shirt or a vest
all it takes is just a little of oneself
