I wish I was a better man,
I know that I fall short
For all the things that I have done
Have so far come to naught.
Though I failed not for trying
And none could rightly say
That all the things that I have done
Were worthless in their day.
So yes, I’m not the best of men
But I can rightly see
That all the things I’m yet to do
Will show the best in me.
Humility, optimism and confidence (together with an eye for rhyme and metrical feet) - all fine qualities in any man! S ;)
