Do Good

Do good Lend an ear, lend a shoulder Give your time, lend a hand Show compassion, love and mercy Judge not, rather, understand Times are getting tough and darker For humanity as a whole Be a rock or an oasis For at least one wretched soul Some may even be ungrateful What a pity, they don’t know What’s in store for the goodhearted Ignorance won’t make them grow Disappointment or frustration Disenchantment or regret None of these should let you falter Do what’s honorable instead Give and lend, do so with pleasure Do what is virtuous, don’t mind the rest Don’t forget the holy promise ’Do good and you will be blessed.’ Wendy Nipas
