Be The Best

Be The Best of Whatever You Are

(Douglas Malloch)

spasi

Of 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

spasi

If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass

And some highway happier make

Of you can't be a muskie then just be a bass

But the liveliest bass in the lake

spasi

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew

There's something for all of us here

There's big work ro do, and there's lesser to do

And the task you must do is the near

spasi

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail

If you can't be a sun be a star

It isn't by size that you win or fail.

Just be the best whatever you are!!

I dedicated this poem to one of my best friends, Naomi. She's left to Bandung and won't back for a long time. I don't even know the reason why she'd do that, but I only hope the best for her, for she's been accompannying me through my thick and thin, thus make her one of my special people. Mi, whatever you are, just do your best!! I'm hoping for your happiness and success.
