That And Nothing More

My lack of material success does not bother me And though not wealthy i do not know of poverty And old age creeping on me five years with three score I want to live as a better person that and nothing more Perhaps the term of self-centered to me does apply And in me plenty of room for self improvement that i won't deny Make yourself a better person make the World better to live in applies to us all Any act of kindness towards another is never too small In life it is said we must give to receive On such a philosophy i am one who believe That we reap what we sow in life seems to be true And to the kind and compassionate good things will be their due I wish to live as a better person that and nothing more This is something you may have heard me say before.
