Do the Best You Can

This I pray For you,my friend-

That you strive to be all that you can be,

           Yet never become a copy of another

That you realize your own unique qualities,

          & all that makes you special

That you open your eyes to the beauty

           In each day

That you reach out to others less fortunate

          Than you

That,by giving,you learn the joy of receiving

That you let go of the sadness of the past,

          Yet always remember the good moments

That you learn to accept life as it is,

          Even with its problems & disappointments

For life is meant to be enjoyed

          And,at times,endured,but never taken

         For granted

And I pray that you will be aware at all

times that you are one special person,          

among all special prsons          

And do the best you can
