My Best

For whom do I strive to be my best?

For her, them, me or the rest?

I could easily say I do it for her

But on reflection what does that infer?

That without her my life has no ambition?

What in that conveys honorable condition?

 

Perhaps I could say I do it for all

For the sake of others, no matter how small

I'd be hard pressed to resume'

My life as a superhero today

Be best for your own sake, if you can

THEN share it with everyone you love, man

"For whom do I strive to be my best?"...a question we all need to ask ourselves...great subject for a poem

"I could easily say I do it for her"
"Perhaps I could say I do it for all"...you missed a stanza...FOR YOU

although the answers will vary each time this question is asked...a different feeling inspired by each thought...you did a WONDERFUL job expressing your answer!

Great advice written with style!

In my opinion one should strive to be their best for themselves first
For if you like yourself, then it's much easier to share your life with someone else
Great write as always

Quite a question posed indeed? In writing I write for myself first and when I am satisfied with what is before me I post hoping that someone else along the way will find some sort of value.

In real life, sometimes best just does not seem good enough, but you keep plugging away, and someday someone is bond to notice. LOL

Great write my friend,
