Something Good

Something Good
May 16, '09 8:17 AMfor everyone
Wouldn't this world be better,
If folks whom we meet would say,
"I know something good about you",
And treat you just that way?
Wouldn't it be splendid,
If each handshake, good and true,
Carried with it this assurance:
"I know something good about you?"
Wouldn't life be happier,
If the good that's in us all,
Were the only thing about us
That people would recall?
Wouldn't our days be sweeter,
If we praised the good we see?
For there is a lot of goodness,
In the worst of you and me!
Wouldn't it be fine to practice,
This way of thinking too;
You know something good about me,
I know something good about you?
