As good as it gets

A MAN IS ONLY AS GOOD IF HE IS PRESENT

A MEMORY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PAST

AND A DREAM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS FUTURE

A HEART IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS FEELINGS

A MIND IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS THOUGHTS

AND A REASON IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS INTENTIONS

A MISTAKE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS LESSON

AN ACTION IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS REACTION

AND A SOUND IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS ECHO

A BELIEF IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS EXPLAINS

A LAW IS ONLY AS GOOD AS WHAT IT FOLLOWS

AND A CREATION IS ONLY AS GOOD AS A CREATOR

A POEM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS IT WORDS

A PLAY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS THEME

AND A STORY/BOOK IS ONLY AS GOOD AS ITS ENDING

ONLY LOVE IS AS GOOD AS ITS GETS...
