Be a scrub in the valley -but lie
The best little scrub at the side of

There's something for all of us
here;
There's big work to do and there's
lesser to do,.
And the task we must do is the
near:
If you can't be a highway, then just
be a trail:
If you can't be a sun, be a star.
It isn't by size that you wM or you
fail -
Be the best of whatever you sore,
