If you can’t be a pine on the top of a hill
Be a shrub in the valley but be
The best little shrub by the side of the hill.
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree
If you can’t be a bush, be a bit of grass
And some highway happier make.
If you can’t be a muskie, than just be a bass
But be the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew
There is something for all of us.
There is big work to do and there’s lesser to do
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail
If you can’t be the sun, be a star
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail.
Be the best of what ever you are
Douglas Malloch
