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,
Some true enemies,
Succeed anyway..


If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat on you,
Be honest and frank anyway..


What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight,
Build anyway..


If you find serenity and happiness,
They might be jealous,
Be happy anyway..


Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough,
Give the world the best,
You have got anyway..


You see, in the final analysis,
It's between YOU and GOD,
It's never between
You and them anyway...
