IF YOU WERE BUSY DOING…
If you were busy being kind,
Before you knew it, you would find
You'd soon forget to think 'twas true
That someone was unkind to you.
If you were busy being glad
and cheering people who are sad,
Although your heart may ache a bit,
You'd soon forget to notice it.
If you were busy being good
And doing the best you could,
You'd not have time to blame some man
Who's doing just the best he can.
If You were busy being right,
You'd find yourself too busy
To criticize your neighbor long
Because he's busy being wrong.
