Today I

Today I 
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012 

Today I have decided,
That it's time to take control.
There won't be anymore sitting,
And waiting, this is my goal.

Today I see it so clearly,
I am all that I have.
If I want to get something done,
It's up to me to pave my own path.

Today I will set my goal,
And work to see it through.
I'm tired of being afraid,
It's time for my dreams to come true.

Today I am quite happy,
And confidence has made its way too.
I as a person have grown,
From now on, to me I'll stay true.

Be The Best That You Can Be 
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012 

At one time or another,
We've all heard these inspirational words.
Be the best that you can be,
And you'll fly just like the birds.

Fly as high as you can see,
And you'll accomplish all.
Be the best that you can be,
And you'll be twice as tall.

Walking high above the rest,
You're confidence will grow.
Be the best that you can be,
Only you can make it so.

Don't forget about those below,
As they are people too.
Treat everyone, as you'd like to be treated,
And people will always love you.

Be the best that you can be,
Be everything and more.
If you always try your hardest,
There will always be an open door.
