God must have known
there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer.
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.

He must have known
we'd need to share
The joy of little things,
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.

I think he knew
our troubled hearts
Would sometimes
ache with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goal
we can't attain.

He knew we'd
need the comfort
Of an understanding
heart To give us
strength and courage
To make a fresh
New start.
