Better to make someone smile <br />Rather than make them cry <br /> <br />Better to feed someone happiness <br />Rather than feed their misery <br /> <br />Better to always give <br />Rather than always take <br /> <br />Better to dance in the rain <br />Rather than weep under the sun <br /> <br />Better to pay a compliment <br />Rather than criticise <br /> <br />Better to be humble <br />Rather than be arrogant <br /> <br />Better to kiss someone <br />Rather than slap them in the face <br /> <br />Better to take care of wildlife <br />Rather than let it perish <br /> <br />Better to see beauty <br />Rather than see ugliness <br /> <br />Better to forgive <br />Rather than hold grudges <br /> <br />Better to catch the arrows <br />Rather than release them <br /> <br />Better to feed the land <br />Rather than let it become barren <br /> <br />Better to help those in need <br />Rather than turn away <br /> <br />Better to be thoughtful <br />Rather than be thoughtless <br /> <br />Better to celebrate life <br />Rather than complain <br /> <br />Better to see your glass as half full <br />Rather than as half empty <br /> <br />Better to look up to the stars <br />Rather than look down into the mud <br /> <br />BETTER TO LOVE <br />RATHER THAN TO HATE<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/better-to-rather-than/
