You May Never

You May never receive the credit you are due
But to your higher self try to remain as true
To your belief on a fair go for all as true do remain
And never hope for anyone's loss to become your financial gain
Try to stay true to the truth in live and let live
Karma can be quite kind to those who willingly give
Leave it to those who everyday does compete
To be best in their neighborhood and best on their street
Never boast to others of how great you are
Of the size of your home or of the size of your car
Self praise is no praise as the wise one does say
To live as a better self this should not be your way
You only can live to be the best you can be
But perhaps what i dislike in others i do see in me.
