Good In Bad Out Poem by Dwayne Banks

Do the best you can everyday of your life
sunny days will come, also some strife
Though when the bad raises its' ugly head
say a prayer to the Lord before you go to bed
Awake with a smile, then do the best you can
always remembering, you rule your own land
Let the good in, kick the bad out
it will take time, there is no doubt
Nothing is simple, we know life can be hard
do what you can, walk the long yard
The time it takes to travel, keep your head high
there will be some tears, and yes, a long sigh
Do what you can to keep your head on right
remember the Lord, on your earthly plight
Your plight to do what is humanely possible
use your head, quit being docile
No aggravation is needed for you
there are many colors other than blue
So, remember, when times get you down, things don't look right
say a prayer to the Lord, let your soul take flight
