Finished product

Not one of us will ever be a finished product;
It’s has nothing to do with success or just luck
No matter what you say or whatever you do
Even if you are an honest person tried and true

Success in life should not allow us to do as we please
Boasting and trying to bring others to their knees
Every one of us must continue to learn and improve
Show more compassion and bad habits try to remove

Then the finished product that everyone sees
Will be being the very best person that we can be

a special thanks to the writer who inspired these thoughts
He adamantly wrote about smiling; then into I just bought
So each day as I awake, I’ll look in the mirror and smile
I’m granted a bit more time and I am still here for a while

With that smile, I’ll bring commitment, there is work to do
I’m filled with anticipation to bring a good day to me and you
A smile won’t save the world—but I believe that it will help
it shows others that I am thinking of others and not just myself

If just for a moment; can we trade our displeasures for a smile?
Can we commit to being positive and just go that extra mile?
I think that we can do it, stay focused and make it our intention
We all have access to a smile; let’s all just make the transition
