when you do your best
to make me address
the reasons for my stress
and refuse to let me digress,
from the reality
that I am too blessed
to be emotionally distressed.
when you do your best
to be my strength
in those times of my duress
when you go to great lengths
to remind me not to forget
that when life throws me
a curve ball not to fret
be sure this too shall pass
it's simply another one
of life's tests.
when you do your best
and invest
time and energy
to more or less
give me a release
from feelings of unhappiness
by giving me words of
encouragement to digest.
when you do your best
to resurrect my happiness
it's easy to understand
why I LOVE YOU to death
because you are always there
to help me address
the foundation of my stress
and make me comprehend
God said
I'm too blessed to be stressed.
Just wanted to let you know
I appreciate you.

Freedom in an unfree world
- healthy skepticism
Perform heroic acts
never criticize
... wish for a miracle
(donkey) ... doesn't matter
Do your best now
You won't regret
When time goes by.
Do your best with gracious zest
Rest if you must from work’s test
Minimize stressful pain
Falter not to share love’s gain
Solve life’s puzzles with God’s light
Lavish self with peace delight…
Tickle heart midst hopeful blow
Do cheer with merry* caring glow.
Do your best, and you’ll be blest
Relax… since you’ve reached gladness-crest
Minutes, enjoy… devoid of strain
Favor blissfulness to reign
So lay down your burden-blight
Laugh out loud; yes… that’s right
Till smile reaches tomorrow
Do thank the Lord for blessings’ flow.
*Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

ask I ask of you
don't feel blue
try this is no lie
life do or die
make your thing a success
just
DO YOUR BEST
Be determined to do your best
Just give it your all
Put your heart into everything
Learn to stand tall
Let the rhythm move you
Get ready to fly
Have strength and courage
In order to reach for the sky
J-ust do your best to win
E-very race or contest;
A-im to take the crown
N-ever say no but
Y-es.
D-o your best to win
E-ach event or competition;
L-et plans and strategies turn
I-nto feat, deed, and action.
Z-ealously soar toward the sky, flying high against the wind;
O-n the eleventh of January, just do your best to win.
Do your best then get better each and every day
The best that you can do today are tomorrows stepping stones
So do your best then get better despite what comes your way
Then greater things will come when your skills are honed
The best that you can do today are tomorrows stepping stones
Now sitting on your laurels will get you nowhere fast
Then greater things will come when your skills are honed
That which you invest in is what you want to last
Now sitting on your laurels will get you nowhere fast
So put your time in things that will endure
That which you invest in is what you want to last
It pains a picture of what you want for sure
So put your time in things that will endure
Now do your best then get better despite what comes your way
It paints a picture of your life I'm sure
Do your best then get better each and every day
Do your best
Strive for greatness
Move forward in a positive light
And stay blessed
Be focused
And give it your all
Climb the ladder
So you can stand up tall
This is a verse like a letter,
Do your best,
and your best shall get better,
Do your best,
You'll pass the test,
We're all different from the rest,
Each of us unique, yes!
So, do your best,
Your best gets better,
My verse is like a letter,
Do your best!
Son, how are you this early morning?
This is just to wish you well...,
Your Exams are near,
Hope you're taking the stress well....
Hope you and your friends edge each other on...
Be honest and talk about what goes on...
Discuss and analise certain topical issues...
That will definitely deepen your grasp of such issues..
You'll need to minimise stress and keep sharp your mind...
When in need, do take time off to refreshen your tired mind...
Go for a movie, take a break with friend at the nearest cafe...
Heck, go out with friends and chill out and lounge easy in the cafe....
Make sure you intake enough water to keep away drowsiness ....
Grab enough sleep, rest and exercise to keep away sleepiness...
Take good care, it wouldn't do to fall ill now that exams are near...
Relax and be confident, you're well prepared for these tests...
Do your best and your best will do all the rest...
Cheers, son! God bless and may you easily ace these tests..!
Want To Do Your Best
Eagle was with white wings which were elegant
And wherever he would fly or even had went
Was majestic, glorious and also so mighty
Taking all things seriously and never lightly.
Flew with fine effort that he could not quit
And every time his mate had made an eaglet
Outside often had been harsh and was raining
He still took youngsters for flying training.
One day after he did drink a few night caps
Suddenly did dive ending up in a total collapse
And his story had a mighty miserable moral
Life comes to an end when you miss the portal.
What he did was fly into a wide wall instead
And of course sure enough ended up dead
Had to give away all rights that were declarant
And died due to being a pretty poor parent.
So this surely thought that I should suggest
When you really want to do your very best
Encourage education to become more eclectic
And become a pleasant parent who is poetic.

Do-your-best as you would say to motivate me,
For a perfect score with our CBs you prayed to be.
In all my challenges it's always brighter to see,
Because you are my inspiration my dearest Honey.
Do-your-best too in achieving what you hope for,
I'll always be right here not asking for so much more.
Though many things now would be different from before,
Hoping the best for our relationship or whatever is in-store.
Do-your-best or mine, to you I would always give,
Because you shared so much and I always did receive.
For a much better life together I would want us to live,
But somehow there's nothing I can do if you have to leave.
