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 were sad,

Although your heart might ache a bit

You’d soon forget to notice it.

If you were busy being true

To what you know you ought to do,

You’d be so busy you’d forget

The blunders of the folks you’ve met.
