One only can hope to live good as one can <br />To be a good woman or be a good man <br />To learn how to receive you must know how to give <br />And live by the moral of live and let live <br />Most people in their ways can be good and kind <br />But if you only look for flaws in others then flaws you will find <br />You never will become the toast of the town <br />If in your words you do like to put others down <br />You can only be the best that you can be <br />And if you look for good in others then good you will see <br />And if you cannot say good things of others nothing of them say <br />You are doing well in life if you can live in this way <br />On learning to walk the child often does fall <br />And to be a good person not easy at all.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-be-a-good-person/
