TO BE

To be, frequently mistaken

But never, to be wrong

To be, part of the group

And yet, not belong

 

To be, so really scared

But at no time, be afraid

To be, a frequent failure

Yet, always make the grade

 

To be, a teller of tall tales

But, never tell a lie

To be, so deeply saddend

Yet never, made to cry

 

To be, sometimes obstructed

And yet, not be delayed

To be, so undecided

That you, cannot be swayed

 

To be, consistently a loser

And yet, never to lose out

To be, so well convinced

That you, never have a doubt

 

To be, filled with desire

But not be, filled with greed

To always keep in mind

That others also need

 

To be, so exhausted

But, never to letup

To be, a last defeated

Yet never, to have given up

 

To be, in time forgotten

Yet, always be remembered

For all those helpful deeds

That you, so often rendered
