Be Gratitude

Will it kill us to say a simple thank you To the ones that have help us In one way or another Will it kill us to say a simple thank you To the ones that have done right for us Will it kill us to say a simple sorry To the ones that we've hurt Will it kill us to say a simple sorry To the ones that we've accused for no reason Gratitude isone of the main Form of politeness We should've known it since we were young Since we've known how to talk Thank you and sorry is not to be bought Like our ancestors used to say Why is it so difficult to practise These three simple words Why let too much pride and vanity Make us think we are so perfect And prevent us from being thankful To the ones that have done good for us And sorry tothe ones we've misdeed for no reason Why let ourbad habits and behaviour Make us forget these three words And make us... ...don't think of who we are Why are we forgetting How to be thankful Why are we forgetting How to say I'm sorry Parents should thought it To their children Teach them good manners And they'll florish in a better world Come on grown ups and mature ones Be the example... ...the role model to our youths Share with them good knowledge And our new generation... ...will create a better evolution Let gratitude be our prayers everyday Our food... ...our medication... ...our pledge and our motto.
