I Was Alone

I walk down the street and no one notices me.
In my house, no one calls
All my friends and family are now all gone.
I feel alone and lonely.

Then, I remember words heard so long ago,
"The Kingdom of God is within."
So, I look within and I find my help, hope,
and new happiness -- the answer to loneliness.

I find joy when I reach out to others.
I find happiness when I give a bit of
happiness to someone else.
It is in giving that we find joy and strength.

Then, we are no longer alone.
