Any way
People are often unreasonable
Illogical and self-centered
Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may
accuse you of being selfish
and having ulterior motives
Be kind anyway
If you are successful
You will win some false friends
and some true enemies
Succeed anyway
What you spend
years building
someone may try
to destroy overnight
Build anyway
If you are honest and frank
people may cheat you
Be honest and frank anyway
The good you do today
people will often forget tomorrow
Do good anyway
Give the world the best you have
and It may never be enough
Give the world the best
you have anyway
If you find serenity and happiness
they may be jealous
Be happy anyway
You see in the final analysis
it’s between you and God
It was never between you and them anyway
with all my love
