I See Good People
My heart beats to the drum of hope
Life hands out test sheets every day
I always pass
While I’m walking a foot is stuck out
there I lay flat on my face
So what
I pick myself up
and stick my tongue out to the one who tried
I beat another obstacle
A panicking phone is ringing,
do this do that do it now
was it done yesterday
uhuh, yep, Ok, yes I did it,
thanks for calling
Someone is yelling at me
I listen
“there’s a good person in there somewhere”
What happened?
hmm, they’re backtracking,
Didn’t they know I’m a good person?
That’s what I see, I see good people

A Poem About Optimism and Good People: A reminder in the form of a poem, of encouragement and hope – to look at life from an optimistic angle. It takes just as much energy to be hopeless as it does to be hopeful. I choose hopeful. I also believe that good souls outnumber the bad. As they say, look for the helpers.
