Do Your Best
Do your best with gracious zest
Rest if you must from work’s test
Minimize stressful pain
Falter not to share love’s gain
Solve life’s puzzles with God’s light
Lavish self with peace delight…
Tickle heart midst hopeful blow
Do cheer with merry* caring glow.
Do your best, and you’ll be blest
Relax… since you’ve reached gladness-crest
Minutes, enjoy… devoid of strain
Favor blissfulness to reign
So lay down your burden-blight
Laugh out loud; yes… that’s right
Till smile reaches tomorrow
Do thank the Lord for blessings’ flow.
*Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
(May be sung to the tune of "Do-re-mi" From the musical, Sound of Music)
