On Good & Nice

On Good & Nice

By: Husam (Sam) Salman

It’s funny some people think

Of themselves as good

When all the while all they

Really are is nice.

Distinguish the difference.

Nice is smiling at a stranger,

Good is helping your

neighbor with her groceries.

Nice is saying thank you

for a lovely dinner,

Good is helping

with the dishes.

Nice is having a party,

Good is being gracious

To new friends and guests.

Nice is being friendly to

Likeminded people,

Good is being friendly

To people whose

opinions oppose your own.

(I need to learn this one

More

with Trump in the race)

Nice is being Facebook

‘Friends’,

Good is talking to those

People around the world.

Be good to one another.
