If you never try to make an enemy and do one good deed every day <br />And to help out one in need of help you go out of your way <br />And to the higher principles you try to remain true <br />The youth of your neighbourhood have a role model in you. <br /> <br />If against the one who did you wrong you do not hold a grudge <br />And though others may judge you them you never do judge <br />The good seeds of karma that you plant into a fine crop will grow <br />As far as life and Nature goes we must reap what we sow. <br /> <br />If you never put another down and none out of name call <br />And you are one who truly believes in a fair go for all <br />And the spirit of egalatarianism you warmly do embrace <br />Then you are quite a credit to your clan and to your race. <br /> <br />If you never partake in the gossip of the neighbourhood <br />And in the one looked on as bad you feel there is some good <br />And to the spirit of the fair go you remain ever true <br />Then you are one worth knowing and great credit you are due.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-10/
