Look around the place where you work.
     Can something be improved? you ask.
Efficiency would certainly be good . . .
     Should I volunteer to do some task ?
Look around your house— inside, outside. 
     Ask yourself, is there a better way ?
Consider all the details here and there . . .
     Maybe jot down your ideas today.
Think about your family, young ones, old ones.
     Who can I give some compliment today ?
Who might appreciate my careful idea ? 
     What’s the best way to nicely say ? 
Don’t neglect to look now in your mirror.
     Is there something important to do ? 
A scowl, a frown, a too-humorous look . . .
     Can I do better when I look at you ?  
Give yourself a thoughtful grin,
     Yes, I can improve my life view.
I’ll start right now, and be thankful
     Maybe that’s an example for you . . .
