TO BE

To be, frequently mistaken
But never, to be wrong
To be, part of the group
And yet, not belong

 
To be, so really scared
But at no time, be afraid
To be, a frequent failure
Yet, always make the grade

 
To be, a teller of tall tales
But, never tell a lie
To be, so deeply saddend
Yet never, made to cry

 
To be, sometimes obstructed
And yet, not be delayed
To be, so undecided
That you, cannot be swayed

 
To be, consistently a loser
And yet, never to lose out
To be, so well convinced
That you, never have a doubt

 
To be, filled with desire
But not be, filled with greed
To always keep in mind
That others also need

 
To be, so exhausted
But, never to letup
To be, a last defeated
Yet never, to have given up

To be, in time forgotten
Yet, always be remembered
For all those helpful deeds
That you, so often rendered
