You’re a Good Person

August 8, 2022

It’s easy to remember
the times you spoke without thinking
and hurt someone precious to you
rather than when you made them smile

It’s easy to remember
the times when you didn’t understand
and upset someone on accident
rather than when you helped someone on purpose

When that’s all you remember
it becomes easy to see yourself
as nothing more than a collection
of every mistake you’ve ever made

But I see something different

I can remember
the times you made people smile
the times you helped people
the times you did the right thing

If you ever forget
all you need to do is ask
and I’ll be right there
to remind you that you’re a good person
