Analysis of The best of me



Though we are in this world over 7 BILLION
Each human lives in a different cosmos and AION
Just like life unfolds in times and SEASONS
We were each born for different REASONS

It seems that the most important ASSIGNMENT
Is to find the reason I have come at this MOMENT
And to daily walk in the light of my PURPOSE
Even if the whole world stands just to me OPPOSE

I understand that the journey may be ROUGH
And there would be times when things get TOUGH
But it does not matter what I have to FACE
I will let nothing stop me from running my RACE

So, today and every day, from January to DECEMBER
I owe it to me never to forget to REMEMBER
That one life is all I have to live; one me is all that I can BE
Thus, I this day pledge to always be THE BEST OF ME
