How Many Times

How many times do we say to ourselves? I will make a change in things even out of my range Make what is unjust to be adjust To listen to the peasant and really be pleasant Be nice after a long day to the next on the line Not to pine for what is most definitely not mine B: How many times do we say these ourselves? I will help the next person I see in distress Lend a hand to an old man as he tries to cross Treat my kid better than my parents did Give my food away in a do good bid Plant what I can, even an happiness seed C: How many times do we say to ourselves? I will not use power to hurt but do better Tell the truth when I could easily lie Work hard and not be distracted A lot of times I have said all, and more Will I fulfill any?
