Do It Anyway

Images_1People are often unreasonable,
Illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway

If you are kind,
People may accuse you self selfish,
Ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway

If you are succesful,
You will wind some false friend and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness,
They maybe jealous;
Be happy anyway

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway
