It's alright to be good



In a world that's often cruel and tough,
Where people think being good is not enough,
We must remember, it's alright to be good,
To do what's right, as we know we should.

It takes courage and strength to be kind,
To show empathy and leave hate behind.
But in the end, it's the good we do,
That makes a difference and sees us through.

So let us be good, with all our might,
And shine our light, so others can take flight.
For in doing so, we'll make a better place,
And leave a mark of love and grace.
