Good, Better, Best

Our time has limits- yes
And, the world rushes by
Who is in need of us?
Oh, if we had wings to fly...

When we are together
May we feel the clock slow;
And ponder forever
Where each moment we will know

We try to do what's “good”
And hope for what is “best”
Progressing as we should
Towards “better” is the quest

We resolve and factor
And think where we have flown
When we self- monitor
We will find where we have grown

What we learn, we can teach
From lessons we'll prepare
With thoughts in how to reach
Then, apply it with great care
