To Be Good As You Can

You can only live to be good as you can
To be a good woman or be a good man
And respect to all people of all races pay
And try to achieve one good deed every day
That all humans have flaws would seem fair for to say
Though some from perfection than others seem further away
A good person to the higher self does try to remain true
And always pay credit to where it is due
Those with the gifts of kindness and compassion are blessed indeed
The people who can look beyond their own need
Though human perfection does not seem possible to achieve
What we give to life in turn we do receive
'Tis human to have some flaw would you not agree?
That is how it is and it will always be.
