A Good Combination
A good combination is better than none
for each can encourage one another
being on your own can be lonesome
always good to have a trusted brother
But a real great united twosome
is to be joining head and heart
when especially both are real good
this gives your life a head start
Make your head full of wisdom
knowing what’s knowledgeable
also have a tender loving heart
combined makes it a shining light
This is a real right good thing
to be effecting the world around
be faithful in sending this goodness
a formidable force will abound
(‘a good head and a good heart bare always a formidable combination’) - Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
