Need Some Inspiration?

It is a Sunday and I slept all day today. In the evening had to have some inspiration to start the perspiration going. Here is a poem by Douglas Malloch that has given me the needed boost.
"If you can't be a pine on top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley - but be
The best little shrub by the side of the rill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be the bush, be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass.
But be the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can't always be captains,
We've got to be crew.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do,
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can't be the Sun, be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or you fail.
Be the best of whatever you are!"
