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.
