It Is Not Up To Me
It is not up to me to be anyone's judge
Or of their achievements and successes them to begrudge
But i can be of benefit to humanity even in a small way
By helping someone in need of helping today
From a tiny seed a big tree is grown
And from our every good deed our future good karma is sown
And every wrong to another that you choose to do
In a negative way will return to you
Many admirers for their kindness the good may not win
But they are helping to make the world better to live in
To those they are helping some hope they do bring
And this in itself is a wonderful thing
And for a better world to live in i only can say
That i too in this does have some part to play.
