Your better days in life in decades gone by <br />And though not very successful your best you did try <br />And that is all you can do and that is your best <br />At least you were willing when put to the test. <br /> <br />Only one born to lead the rest must follow on <br />And the past is behind you the past it has gone <br />The future ahead though to time you do bow <br />And you only can live in the here and the now. <br /> <br />The story of your life may never be told <br />Not everyone is born to win Olympic Gold <br />Only those who know of you your name may recall <br />But you are a good person and that counts after all. <br /> <br />You pay to others the respect they are due <br />And to your higher self you are one who is true <br />You are kind and caring and that's a good thing <br />And your praises I'll always feel happy to sing.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-a-good-person/
