Via AkmaBe The Best of Whatever You Are
By Douglas Malloch
If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree.
If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew,
There’s something for all of us here,
There’s big work to do, and there’s lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can’t be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can’t be the sun be a star;
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail
Be the best of whatever you are!
Via AkmaEven when it seems that nothing can go right
and you want to just give up,
if you close your eyes,
you can see the world from your heart
In this world when life can be so tough
You must be strong
Just believe in yourself and don’t you fearSo open up your mind and close your eyes
Take another look from the other side
