Commitment

Read by Lynn Irwin

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred
Forgive them anyway

If you’re kind
People may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
Be kind anyway

If you’re successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies
Succeed anyway

If you’re honest and frank
People may cheek you
Be honest and frank anyway

What you spent years building
Someone could destroy overnight
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness
They may be jealous
Be happy anyway

The good you do today
People will often forget tomorrow
Do good anyway

Give the world the best you have
And it may never be enough
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway

Andrew and Jasmijn: grow together, support each other
Love one another, look after yourself, be caring
And… laugh a lot!
