What If Your Best Is Not Enough?

What do you do if your best is not enough?

Give Up, Go Home, Quit?

It's real easy to quit, this world is full of quit.

My dad is falling apart in front of me, but he does not quit.

Each day his hurt gets worse, I watch, and can do nothing.

But maybe I can.

I can do better, I have to learn from his hurt, his pain, his struggle.

Will it all be in vain?

I will not quit because I have been taught the word does not exist.

I work hard, I listen, I watch and learn.

I have been inspired to teach others, the world is wide open for me.

What if my best is not enough?
