DOING YOUR BEST
If you do your very best, tried as hard as you can
You will never regret that action, even if the plan
Did not work out, you will have grown within,
And you know that many a battle you can win.
Look back and see the growth and give a smile,
The great effort has carried you for many a mile,
Upward and onward and so a better person you are,
And no discouragement can your spirit ever mar.
Your victory will be how very much you have grown,
How many good seeds for others you have now sown,
For next time you try your best farther you will go
And so effort by effort you will continue to grow.
You will never regret doing your best that I know,
People that are near you will watch you as you go
From strength to strength as you always do your best,
The way you are inside will show how you passed the test.
