Do the Right Thing

by Bill Turner   Jan 19, 2006


What say you?
I ask...not knowing why...
Is this the day I live or the day I die?
For in death, there can be dignity too...
Live each day with honor
When it is time you will have no shame...
Make a difference in the world, always...
That is all anyone can do...
Make the world a better place
Your actions are your dignity...
Tell the truth, even if it means your life
Serve your family, always
Help those that cannot help themselves...
Never turn your back on a friend...
Defend honor and dignity at all costs...
Even the honor and dignity of others...
Should they not be able to defend themselves...
Live like this always...
Your enemies will remember you
Respecting your stand...
Do the right thing...as it is the right thing to do
