Analysis of Think, Say, Do

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



Think of the ones who are in need
And how to help as you
Would like someone help you succeed
In what you need to do!

Say to that needy person that
You'll help if only they
Will just accept help where they're at
In life, at least today!

Do what you can to ease the stress
And suffering you find.
Try hard to be the one to bless
The weary, needy kind!
