You and God

It's between you and God.

People are often unreasonable, Illogical, and
self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, You will win some false friends
and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, Someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, They may be
jealous; Be happy 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've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.
