I Know Something Good About You

Louis C. Shimon

Wouldn’t this old world be better

   If the folks we meet would say–

"I know something good about you!"

And treat us just that way?

Wouldn’t it be fine and dandy

   If each handclasp, fond and true,

Carried with it this assurance–

   "I know something good about you!"

Wouldn’t life be lots more happy

   If the good that’s in us all

Were the only thing about us

   That folks bothered to recall?

Wouldn’t life be lots more happy

   If we praised the good we see?

For there’s such a lot of goodness

   In the worst of you and me!

Wouldn’t it be nice to practice

   That fine way of thinking, too?

You know something good about me,

   I know something good about you.

I just LOVE this poem! I have it in my collection of inspirational writings because it just resonates with me. I think it's so important to remember a person's goodness. It just makes the world a happier place, don't you think?
