To Do Good

To be kind and caring is never a sin But the power to live as a better person can only come from within In the karma of life we reap what we sow The seed of a weed to a flower never grow The longest lived human life as time goes not a long span A few years more for a woman than it is for a man On average in years of three score and ten And death for us all the final earthly amen Though many who live as good people their names never on any memorial wall For their kindness they will be remembered with fondness since in them nothing small Though of more of their sort the Human World is in need For their future good karma they always plant the good seed To be kind and compassionate is never a sin But the power to do good can only come from within.
