Do Your Best

Do your best,
With what you have,
Just try hard,
And you'll be glad.

You're the only you,
There will EVER be,
Don't waste your time,
Not liking your "me!"

You can wish and wish,
A thousand times,
But you'll still be you,
When you open your eyes.

Be happy you're here,
On this beautiful planet,
Be proud of being John,
Joseph or Janet!

Love your nose and your arms,
And your hair and your teeth,
For these are the things,
That make you unique!

They don't like you? Who cares!
Can't you possibly see?
That they don't see the you,
The you - you call "me!"

You're beautiful now,
Just the way you are,
Stop wishing for changes,
On ill-fated stars.

Look in the mirror,
And think hard for a while,
Only YOU can turn,
That frown to a smile!

Be thankful for "you",
For goodness sake,
You could be staring back,
At a rat or a snake.

Trudge on and on,
Cuz forever you'll be,
The ONLY one,
That you can call "me."

Now - go! Do your best,
Whatever it takes,
And give life itself,
Your greatest of greats!
