"Anyway" poem

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfishness.

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you may win some unfaithful friends.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you.

Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.

Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

Give the best you have and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.


It never was between you and them anyway.
