BE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU
ARE
If you can't be a pine on the
top of the hill
Be a scrub in the valley-
-but be the best little scrub by the side of the
rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit
of the grass,
And some highway some happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass--
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've
got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do,
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then
just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail--
Be the best of whatever you are!
