Who's the Best

Who’s the best to hold a pencil, And sketch out a lovely scene? Who’s the best to clutch a paintbrush, And make a canvass so serene? Who’s the best to give an embrace, And dance the night away? Who’s the best to ever speak with, And make a sky blue out of gray? Who’s the best to compose a song, And perform and entertain? Who’s the best to write a novel, And find fortune and fame. Who’s the best to write a poem, And to give a great tattoo? Keep searching in your soul, Because the best could be you.

would've, could've, should've of, probably isn't:( way too many artists in the world for me to compete with, poets and others. I just do what I do, let someone else qualify himself as the best. I just write and hope for the best:) thanks for sharing Raul, great win as well.
