A Better Me
If I examined or I compared
Myself next to the greatest
person that ever was
That would place no feather
In my cap.
If I become greater still
Than Muhammad Ali,
Still that would be no proof,
nor treasure in my lap.
If I sailed the ocean;
Navigated without a map
Measured up to the greatest Captain
that ever sailed the sea.
I still would not feel fantabulous;
Like my worth on earth complete.
"To thine own self be true" is universal law
Unless I fill my own two shoes
And stand on my two feet.
The task is... fulfill my purpose now or
My purpose I defeat
To know my what-my who -my how.
Many before me were great,
On that I must agree, and from them
I’ve been inspired.
The righteous workings of my soul
Is my only test, being better than
Myself, will be my all-time best.
The Creator hears my plea:
“God make the best of me”
"let me be true to me"
The only person I need
Strive to be better than
......is a me.!
