Poem (Illustrated) - It's Better


It’s Better

It’s better to be in
Than standing at the door
It’s better to be in
Than hungerin’ for more
It’s better to be in
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to be in
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to forgive
Than holding on a grudge
It’s better to forgive
Than refusing to budge
It’s better to forgive
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to forgive
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to laugh
Than wearing a frown
It’s better to laugh
Than always looking down
It’s better to laugh
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to laugh
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to love
Than ignoring its call
It’s better to love
Than refusing to fall
It’s better to love
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to love
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to try
Than sitting on your hands
It’s better to try
Than avoiding life’s demands
It’s better to try
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to try
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to sing
Than cursing with your words
It’s better to sing
Than repeating what you heard
It’s better to sing
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to sing
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to give
Than clinging on to things
It’s better to give
Than hoarding diamond rings
It’s better to give
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to give
Of this there is no doubt.

It’s better to fly
Than walking on the ground
It’s better to fly
Than to the earth be bound
It’s better to fly
That way you’re not left out
It’s better to fly
Of this there is no doubt.
