If my best ever
is voted for today,
would I try ever
to better myself?
is voted for today,
would I try ever
to better myself?
Would I regret,
tomorrows forget,
and live as I am,
a so-called best?
Tonight, I seek
an answer to me;
Is the best ever,
really for forever,
or can I do better?

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Well console yourself with the 'best to date' rather than thinking that the pinnacle has been reached.
always you are the best, and you can do better than your previous best..Someone is Special
Beautifully done and you do raise a good question–when is it enough and can we move beyond our "best"?
Leo, you have been doing better and better. Best of you every time!
interesting reflection…perhaps one can hold on to the saying that the best is yet to come?
The best can always be bettered. 🙂
@OLD EGG,Yes, that is quite a consolation indeed :)@SARAVANA,Interesting way to put it, I hope you are right! :)@DIVA,Maybe it's one of those tricky unanswerable questions that pop up into our mind more often than not? @HARSHADJI,I hope so sir. It'd be sad to stagnate at this same place in my poetic journey :)@DeLI,Yes, maybe that's worth the thought :)@JANHVI,I most certainly hope so, dear 🙂
A very good thought provoking verse in very simple language..!! keep them coming!
Onwards and upwards I say!
