There are so many things
We can do that will make
Us better people and
Improve condition in others
And in our community
It does take action and
The ability not to lie to ourselves
“I’m praying on it” is another
Way of saying no, but there
May be a good reason for that
So just admit it and give a
Moral boost to the asker.
Going through a door and letting
It close without looking if
Someone else is coming especially
One handicapped in some way
This little gift of consideration
Means so much and prompts the
Repetition of the act by others
Greeting people and helping them
In the grocery store by reaching
For something they want but can’t
Get to. Someone drops something
And you have it picked up before
They realize it was dropped
Holding items while the owner is
Trying to unlock his car.
Participating in community activities
Supporting local businesses
Always being of good cheer
Being helpful whenever possible
Do not dominate conversations
Or meetings. Suppress your ego
Be loving and complimentary
Always look for miracles
Beauty is everywhere, but
Sometimes you have to look for it
So many things we can be doing
Which will fill us up and give us
A happy life. So many things
