Look For the Good

Look for the Good look deep if you must
Open up your heart and give me a fresh start
One little thing to trigger it off and you never see the good in me
Why do you torment me with one mistake? 
Look for the Good for Goodness sakes 

Look for the Good you might see the Good in you!

It seems we all from this world look for good, but very a few know to make it acceptable. Congrat.

Thumbs up on your poem. I definitely agree with you. As Johnny Mercer sang, "You have to accentuate the positive and eliminate (not dwell on) the negative." People who dwell miss so much.

Exactly if a person searches for the good in another person they will find some type of goodness,But those who never take the time to search will not find anything.
