The Man You Are


1t isn't the man that you might have
Had the chance been yours again.
Nor the prize you wanted but didn't
That weighs In the measure Of men.
Can rowel your stock to par.
The world cares naught for, what never
1t judges by what you are.
1t isn't the man that you hope to be-
will see
In weighing your will and mind.
The years ahead are a chartless sea,
And tomorrow's a world away;
1t isn't the man that you'd like to be,
But the man that You are today.
There's little worth in the phantom
praise
OF a time that may never dawn,
And less in vain regret for days
And deeds long buried and gone.
There's little time on this busy earth
To argue the why and how.
The game is yours If you prove your
worth,
And prove it here and now!
