Definition: That which one is morally or legally obligated to do.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word that’s important in so many ways!
“Duty,” you see, it's more than just a name,
It’s a feeling, a responsibility and fame –
Well, not quite fame, but something truly grand,
A commitment held within your hand.
The dictionary says, with accuracy bright,
"That which one is morally or legally obligated to do right.”
Let's break that down, nice and slow,
It’s about what you
should
know.
Morally
, it means doing what is good and true,
Acting with kindness, for me and for you!
Like helping someone who needs a hand,
Or standing up when things aren't quite planned.
Legally
, it’s following rules, you see,
The laws of the land, for all to agree!
From paying your taxes, with diligent care,
To keeping promises, beyond compare.
So duty isn’t just a chore, don’t you fret,
It's about acting with honesty, and being truly set –
On doing what’s right, in every single way,
To brighten your world, day after day!
