Too Nice

It’s been said to me,
on more than one occasion,
that I’m too nice.
It wasn’t meant
as a compliment.
Consternation!
How can that be?
It’s not a vice.
It’s the golden rule we know!
In good faith we show
how we wish to be treated.
How we are greeted
is not a guarantee
of quid pro quo.
The who I be
to anybody
is my choice to make.
I will not take
a hard line
over being kind.
I can’t do it.
It’s not in my mind.
That’s all there's to it.
I will endeavor to uplift,
with my gift
God given.
It’s my life I’m livin’
in a world of
discontent.
Spreading the light of love
is my intent.
No matter how it was intended,
to me it's a compliment
to be thought of
as too nice.
It is my coping device.
