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"
