I Gave It My Best
"Whew, done with today, sigh
I know I gave it my best try
I met every challenge head on
And beat most back with my baton
A few battles will have to wait another day
Certainly to join other dragons I have to slay
But I achieved a lot
Believe it or not
Despite the pressure of a dwindling clock
I remain confident and strong as a rock
I am thankful to be alive,
Working more than just to survive
Committed to this path I have chosen
Swimming through business and personal emotion
My head still above water,
Even though the future is uncharted
I have to believe in my heart and trust my mind,
That what I want will be mine
So as my pillow calls,
And the results of today I recall
I affirm to myself that I am deserving,
For the success that I am yearning
I have done my best today,
And fought the battles my way
So tomorrow I will have another chance to succeed,
For in myself I believe"
