To Be Good As You Can Poem by Francis Duggan

You can only live to be good as you can
For to be a good woman or be a good man
And do if you can your good deed of the day
And to help one in trouble go out of your way
You never will become the toast of the town
If you are one who likes for to put others down
Respect to all others be willing to show
And respect in return from them you will know
If you only seek flaws in others then flaws you will find
And those with damaged egos their words can be unkind
You can only be a good person if to your higher self you are true
And the Karma we receive is the Karma we are due
Any act of kindness towards another is never too small
And long live the truth in a fair go for all.
