"My Best Yet"


By Tilden D. Corbett
For Jeremy, Amber, Christian, & Brittany

Whatever I do, I will do better each day
Pushing forward in this journey; as I find a way
But, the way I find, the world may forget
When darkness consumes light, will I have given my best yet?

I will learn to live so I can live more freely
I will learn to give so I can give more easily
We all have a life but who truly lives?
We all have gifts but who truly gives?

I will learn to see with open eyes
I will learn to kneel with sacred cries
Seeing without prejudice and suspicion
Adequate faith yielding devout convictions

I will learn to be forgiving and forgive with integrity
I will learn to smile; thus, flaunting the best of me
Courageous it is to forgive but surely the way to go
A smile can bring healing to all hurt souls

Whatever I do I will do better each day
Doing more, seeing more, and being more in every way
The world will stand amazed at all the records I set
Like another dawn, I will rise to put forth my best yet.
