Let's Just Do the Best We Can

 Sometimes love is as simple as a shared cup of tea...

I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions but it is a good time to re-evaluate and reconsider our goals…

Instead of tongue-waggling our way through it

Let’s put talk to touch and do it

Instead of thinking’s well-laid plan

Let’s just do the best we can

…with what we’ve got, not what will be

Or with what fills our fantasy

The merchandise of want-and-wish

Unless these ‘wants’ are unselfish

…are often vain; our single plan

Should be to do the best we can

…and truly love our fellowman

Then we will do the best we can
