Worn too thin

Are you worn too thin?
Do you suffer within?
Do your thoughts show?
Just how difficult it is
To be everything
For everybody
Do you forget yourself?
Are your needs upon the shelf?
Forgotten within yourself
Does your ego surrender?
When your heart is tender
Do you give till it hurts?
Do you bundle up your skirts?
Ready to run a mile...
Do you forget your own smile?
Are you worn too thin?
Stop giving too much to others
You can't be everybody's mother
You have to learn to say "no"
Learn to look after yourself
Else you stumble and fall apart
Life is a work of art
It is a work of heart
Giving; loving; living
Remember to take a little time
To recharge your batteries too
Emptiness of heart and soul
Becomes too hard to cope
So fill up your cup each day
Get down on your knees and pray
Dear Jesus is waiting for your call
Waiting to give you his all
His strength will lift you too
Only through him can you
Hope to make it...
Hope to get through...
