Good Advice Poem by Jim Yerman

Good Advice



It is easy to treat those who are good with goodness...a wise man once explained...
But treating those who are not good with goodness....is how true goodness is attained.

He went on to say be humble...do not speak when you are mad...
And never show off your happiness...in front of someone who is sad.

His name was Lao Tzu and I wonder...Did he know...
His words would ring as true today...as when we wrote them...long ago?
