Thoughts of Inspiration
by Jean Lisenby
________________________________________________________________________________
Anyway
People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, People
may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends
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 may be 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 was never between you and them anyway.
