What makes me tick?

If you've got a moment go ahead and sit,

I won't be long, I'll make it quick.

The things in life worth living for are simple for me to admit.

I live a life for something worth more than just me,

My goal is to share truths with people that they can't quite see.

I want them to know the struggles of one another.

I'm hopeful that they will eventually call them sister and brother.

See life is only worth living when we share our experiences and lessons learned.

Those experiences end up being proof of a life that we've earned;

And those truths bring us closer together,

Especially during the hardest seasons of bad weather.

My life is worth living not because of my success,

No, I find my health has caused me terrible stress.

But when serving others I find that I'm free,

Because a life spent serving others is the way that it should be,

Life should be spent giving,

Because when we're selfless, that is when we are truly living.

Living to a higher standard for the human race,

And understanding that selfishness is a disgrace.

I know that I am far from perfect and I have selfish tendencies,

Selfishness is a weak human's dependency.

So I stand myself up and humble myself down,

I focus on remembering someone higher wears the crown.

He expects better of me and smiles when I give my life away,

Because it triggers the memory of all the things His son would say.

He would tell me to treat others how I'd like to be treated,

And then He would remind that when I'm with Him I can't be defeated.

So when it is all said and done, the truth of what makes me tick,

Is living a life not focused on being sick.

It's focused on helping set people free,

Because I know what it is like to be alone at sea.

I believe my life is worth living because I don't delay,

No I am very quick to give it all away.

I'd love to ask you one simple question,

And the answer will be determined by your confession.

Do you live life serving others in a way that is called good?

Or are you reading this now and realizing that maybe you should?
