The meek shall inherit the Earth
So they say,
But nice guys will finish last.
Alas in its way a truism.
However I feel sorry
For all those who make this true.
They want the exciting guy,
The bad boy.
As they have the passion and the fire
To make you feel ALIVE!
Remember a fire that burns twice as bright
Lasts half as long.
What they fail to see
The nice guy is many things.
A blanket that's warm and snug,
Do not mistake their meekness,
Uncontrary nature as weakness.
It takes real strength to compromise.
Will let you be you.
You will not have to be what they demand!
You find yourself standing tall
Looking to the future with a bright eye.
As they will support your efforts and dreams.
Your hopes and loves.
Yes nice guys finish last.
But those who make it so
Have not won at all.
