    This poem encourages people to do their best in whatever role or position they have, rather than longing to be something greater. It uses examples like being a scrub bush or a bass fish instead of a tree or muskie to illustrate trying one's hardest in their current situation rather than wishing for something more. The overall message is that what matters most is doing one's task and role to the best of their abilities.

    Be the Best of Whatever You Are

    If you cant be a pine on the top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley, But be the best little scrub by the side of the rill; Be a bush if you cant be a tree.

    If you cant be a bush, be a bit of the grass, Some highway happier make; If you cant be a muskie, then just be a bass, But the liveliest bass in the lake!

    We cant all be captains, weve got to be crew; Theres something for all of us here, Theres big work to do, and theres lesser to do, And the task we must do is the near.

    If you cant be a highway, then just be a trail; If you cant be the sun, be a star; Be the best of whatever you are! It isnt by size that you win or you fail-

    Douglas Malloch
