Do Not Compare!

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
Please don't compare yourself at all
To anyone you know.
You just don't know how big or small
Things changed their life and so

Please also do not wish that you
Could have a better life.
Instead ask God to help you through
 Whatever causes strife.

The peace of mind you seek today
Is found in faith above,
When you do your best to pray
To feel God' holy love!
