Analysis of Your Role



Take notice of the gorgeous flowers and plants,
Have you noticed the world’s beauty by any chance?
The earth was created with you in mind,
Realizing that you are truly one of a kind.

Put aside the gloom and look at the brighter side of life,
Not all the hardships or tremendous strife,
You can make the world shine and appear so bright,
By doing what you can do to make things right.

It is up to you to show the way,
To make someone happy this very day,
Smile and give someone a helping hand,
And make this country a respected land.
