It's a Good Thing
It’s a good thing, I am convinced …
To smile when everyone else is frowning
To hold your head up even when you don’t feel well
To say Hello or “Hi” if no one answers back
To say “I’m sorry” to the person you wronged
To stand on principles you’ve found tried and true.
It’s a good thing, I am convinced …
To avoid your vexatious neighbor
To drive like you do when a policeman is behind you
To call a friend before just dropping in
To look like you’re having fun, even if you’re bored to tears
To remember your parent’s “stupid” advice.
It’s a good thing, I am convinced …
To have a good, hearty laugh every single day
To remember to say “I love you” to family and friends
To be always courteous and polite
To say what’s on your mind instead of stewing about it
To do it now, rather than later.
