All you can do is the best you can do

All you can do is the best you can do

If all I can do is the best I can do
Can I ever do enough
Striving all the time to do more and more
There always seems to be more stuff

Never able to reach perfection
I always feel the pressure of rejection

The answer for me is to continue to do the best I can 
Always looking ahead for a better plan

Obstacle

If I see an obstacle In front of me, what do I do?
Do I go around it, or do I plow through?

After assessing the situation and the consequences thereof,
I check with my maker to get His advice from above.

More often than not, a lesser trail I will travel.
Avoiding all obstacles traveling the path paved with gravel.

It’s never too late

Never Too Late neon quote on a brick wall. Inspirational glowing lettering.
If you can read this, it's never too late to do what you want to do.
Put your shoulder to the wheel. You can accomplish it if you just do. 

Grit preserve and all that you're made of
You can create anything you want through love.

Never give up. Never be discouraged. 
The further you go the greater your courage.

Winner or Looser

Can a winner be without a loser or a loser without a winner?
Oh my, this could not be very clear for a novice beginner.

As life passes by, I soon learn
It's more important to know when to take your turn. 

Not whether I win or lose that is attached to my name. 
It's the tremendous effort I put into playing the game.

Legacy

What legacy of mine will I leave? 
Will it be something big I achieve?

Not having to be anything out of the ordinary
maybe only something necessary. 

Sharing and caring could be the most incredible legacy of all,
by exclaiming the Love of Jesus and God’s call. 

Always willing to lend a helping hand. 
I never turn down an offer to be a friend on demand. 

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,
is undoubtedly the most positive thing I can do. 

Leaving an indelible legacy of this kind
will leave an everlasting memory in everyone's mind.

This old World

This old world ain't what it used to be
Or at least it seems that way to me

Things are made cheaper and cost a lot more
It just seemed like it was much better before

Groceries have gone up, and medicine is out of sight
If I can't pay my electric bill, I may have to read by candlelight 

What is the answer? No one seems to know
Praying to God would seem the only way to go

Busy

Busy is a small word that can mean so much
If you are an active person, you have just the right touch

If you want something done, it has been said 
Don't ask an idle person. Ask a busy person instead

People who aren't doing anything will do anything at all
An active person will accomplish anything you call
