Because It Is Right

Because It Is Right If you are mad for missing a mark Or failed someone though you have tried Felt a pang of guilt inside Cheer up, lift your head up, Because cheerful countenance is good and right Though you are hurting inside For being left, groping in the dark And your whimpers and cries aren’t heard outside Open your window, welcome the light Because it’s good and right When you want to shout and turn around Because you were pricked and ducked in mud Don’t gloat and strike a whack Against those whose plans are bad Because your patience is good and right When heart is stricken with blades so sharp And your esteem is rocked and crushed Give time for grief and never hide, Lest it lingers like illness, destroying life Find serenity ,Because it is good and right And how you wonder, why good and bad pass by And life begins and ends in one’s demise Seasons changes as with time Sun rises, sun sets with day and night Oh! I know it is good and right.
