Who's the Best

Who’s the best to hold a pencil,
And sketch out a lovely scene?
Who’s the best to clutch a paintbrush,
And make a canvass so serene?

Who’s the best to give an embrace,
 And dance the night away?
Who’s the best to ever speak with,
And make a sky blue out of gray?

Who’s the best to compose a song,
And perform and entertain?
Who’s the best to write a novel,
And find fortune and fame.

Who’s the best to write a poem,
And to give a great tattoo?
Keep searching in your soul,
Because the best could be you.

What a wonderful poem, Raul. There is much wisdom in these beautifully penned words. If we don't keep reaching we will never know the best we can be. Congratsulations again, Raul! They are both winners in my book! Love, Robin

would've, could've, should've of, probably isn't:( way too many artists in the world for me to compete with, poets and others. I just do what I do, let someone else qualify himself as the best. I just write and hope for the best:) thanks for sharing Raul, great win as well.
