Good Intentions All Over the Place
He died so wealthy that his relatives were amazed at the news.
He had never shared a dime or quarter with any of them.
Did he leave a will in this hoarder’s nest of yesterday’s blues?
We looked but could only find one thing written by Jim.
Try tomorrow to share some money. Maybe volunteer some time.
Give couple of dollars to Cousin Joe for his birthday or buy silly slime.
Teach someone to read or do math or maybe even ride a bike.
Take some poor kids or orphans on a terrific overnight nature hike.
There were ten pages of such good intentions all written and done.
However, he never followed through with any, not a single one.
We knew him as a stingy guy who might have trouble getting into heaven.
Try to go outside and not be afraid was written on page number eleven.
