There is this thing we all try to do without rest. 

It’s a two word phrase pronounced “our best”. 

To strive for it daily is not easy.

Confused people will even call you sleezy.

Only you know what it is for you,

though others can help us get hard times through. 

There is very little risk, yet everything is at stake.

There is so much to sort through from the moment we awake.

Peace comes with challenges, tears could be cried,

but we can take heart when our best is always tried.
