Cheers to the
goodness in the world
I drink to and give thanks for
the ones who were once puppets
but tugged and broke free from their strings
and worked their ways towards beating hearts
thanks for those not afraid
to share their awesome worthy thoughts
with everyone else in the world
and thanks for those who might just happen to listen
such a thing as being different and true
no matter what they seem to think of you
to those who try to help others change
always pushed away but so persistent and very forgiving
thanks for their very existence
their cherishing everlasting true good selves
who know to open their eyes
and want to help the blind ones see
thank you for all the goodness in the world
and the little persistent goodness in me.
