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.

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.
