I Only Wish

I only wish I were a better person And do at least one good deed every day There is plenty room for me of self improvement On the righteous path to go I have some way. In the World there are so many good people Some doctors and nurses go to Countries far away To improve the health of poverty stricken people Without Government assistance or any cash for pay. Some semi skilled and skilled people leave their Hometowns For to work in Lands where poverty is rife To impart their knowledge to the poor less privileged And help them to attain for themselves a far better life. I only wish I were a better person Since that is all to which I do aspire, So many who do lead by good example And these are the people that I do most admire.
