Goals and Expectations

May not have the nicest stuff
You could buy in any store
Won't be winning any prize for beauty
Or complete in the Olympic Games
Not always able to take the right path
Debts financial and moral piling high
Every day I wish to count a blessing
Real happiness is not found in these things
First take care of those you love
Understand the rest will come
Live the best with what you have
Leave perfection at the door
Invest time and energy in those around you
Fulfill your obligations
Enjoy the time you have.
