Thoughts to Remember

If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill,
Be a shrub in the valley, but be
The best little shrub by the side of the hill
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

We can't all be captains, so, 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 fail,
Be the best of whatever you are.
****Douglas Malloch
