A Good Feeling Inside
I’m a firm believer in setting goals in life,
Then striving for attainment every day
Avoiding undue petulance and strife,
Balancing time between work and play.
Looking to a future of accomplishment
Building on foundations you carefully laid,
Not always seeking acknowledgment
For everything you do you’ll not be paid.
Often, a good feeling inside is sufficient
No tangible reward will be necessary,
If in your heart, you’ve done a good deed
Within yourself you’ll feel salutary, [and]
Think about it, that’s all you really need.
