Do The Best That You Can.. Poem by Ross Mabey

Poem - Do The Best That You Can.

By - Ross Mabey.

When you feel that everyone's throwing rocks on your parade,
And living life here is just a charade.
When you feel that most politicians, aren't telling the truth,
And on the democracy that our forefathers fought for, we can lay a wreath.

When we feel that the only thing that you can trust, is your old pet doggy.
If you are a cat lover, then perhaps it's your old moggie.
Whatever, or whoever, it happens to be,
It's unlikely to be some politician promising the world to you and me.

If you feel we should try to identify our personal and society's problems,
And try our hardest to resolve them.
Because if we don't, they'll always be there to plague us.
At night, just relax and say a silent prayer,
You may be surprised, for in the morning the answer is there.

Just let them all go, into the sea of life,
Don't struggle with them it's not worth the strife.
That's all we can do as woman or man.
Just let them all go and do the best that you can.
