Exhorted to fulfill my very best
amidst perfection and excellence test…
what matters well is I did my utmost
vis-à-vis required and set standards’ post.
Respecting others with their unique traits
cognizant of my flaws and error weights…
what matters is that I’m striving to learn
still improving for which my heart does yearn.
Unmasked by jury along good and right
my soul admits guilt of hypocrite’s blight…
what matters then is my attitude show
from inward repentance to faith-glow.
Exposed to God Who knows every motive
my spirit seeks His wise directive
what matters now is life’s earnest desire
in serving by His grace till I retire.
Thus, responding to bullies, may I say
tasks abound for achievement-gain each day…
what matters though is having honest* aim
helping someone, not marring any name.
*2Corinthians 8:21 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
