Speaking only kind, constructive words about others,
Prioritizing peace among earth's sisters and brothers,
Remembering green practices, essential to our lives,
Easy as the benign habits, of honeybees in gilt hives.
Always eager to give more than likely to be received,
Devotedly loyal to a loving God, who's never deceived,
Indelibly making being good neighbors a huge priority.
Nurturing friendships helps create a friendly majority.
Generating sunny smiles, giving generously to charity.

Habitually being punctual, for it is only good manners,
As important at dinner parties, as to bold city planners.
Protecting the wild animals and their valuable habitats.
Pursuing knowledge endlessly, for knowledge attracts!
Imagination is wonderful to have, as it is never boring,
Not like the tedious, humdrum, that sets all to snoring.
Eager to do the best job possible-it makes things work.
So many things might go wrong, if each person shirked.
Stimulating dialogue, instead of quarrel, is ever a perk.
