To Be What You Are Is What You Will Be Poem by Mrs Marie Roylance Roylance

To be what you are is what you will be
Your dreams don't always come true
But you are you

You cannot expect everyone to like you
You may not like everyone you meet
But that is life, sometimes sour sometimes sweet
Yet you can make your presence pleasant
The world then is a better place.

It is nicer to smile and light up your eyes
Than to scowl at the human race
Making the world a nicer place to live
It's up to you, what you will give

To make it so, as you go!
Friends are worth more than a purse that is full
A hand that extends in the time of sorrow
Lifts up your heart and prepares you
For your tomorrows

A kind word or two to somebody new
A hand that will steady them through
In a place that is alien and strange to them
Is a friendship that is true

So many things make your world
So it's nice to be nice, as you go
Do nice things and make it so.
