If We Were Half As Good

by Dee Pinkney

If we were half as good at being good humans
As the dogs are at being good dogs
Or the trees are at being good trees
Or the bugs are at being good bugs
Or the stones are at being good stones
The tears we'd save could make green all the deserts
The songs we'd sing could lift God's darkest mood
