Good Day

"Good Day" is a poem by Max Burchett that introduces the concept of a new holiday, referred to as "Good Day," that is being promoted as a national day "for doing a little extra good." This proposed national day serves as a reminder for people to engage in small or large acts of goodwill, something beneficial, whether it's for the greater good, for friends, for family members, or even for strangers. This poem suggests that by each individual taking a small step forward and then collectively making a significant leap, it is possible to improve the world, even if only for one person or for all.

The poem stresses the significance of spontaneous, kind gestures, urging individuals to follow their intuition and take action based on what they believe is right. It emphasizes that now is the moment to act, as the future is uncertain for us all and there might not be another opportunity. The poem concludes by reinforcing the importance of a "Good Day" - a day dedicated to acts of kindness, compassion and betterment.
