Some overused words are "self", "I" and "me".
When they're in the way we simply can't see
The merits in others, 'cause focus is wrong.
We're busy with self and singing "our" song.
How thoughtless it is to put ourselves first.
It's better to let the "me" bubble burst
And reach out with caring to others in need.
When we do this, from "self" we are freed.
No longer short-sighted, perspective is new.
A happier outlook will come into view.
When we bypass "self" and learn to be "giving",
This is the key to happier living.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
Colossians 3:16 KJV
