Be good

I heard you were good today
Extended that shoulder and smile
Took the time and didn't once sigh
Made them laugh and let them cry
Gave the warmest hug that helped get by
Gracious with no need to justify

When you hit the bed at night
And you're mostly satisfied
I really hope you didn't deny
The same courtesy to those eyes
As ones known to be most kind
That stare back from the mirror
