Be

 

Be bird, not soar

Be quiet, not roar

Be future, not fate

Be early, not late

Be more, not less

Be true , not impress

Be articulate, not outspoken

Be whole, not broken

Be up, not down

Be smile, not frown

Be now, not then

Be certain, not when

Be independent, not depend

Be generous, not lend

Be honest, not pretend

Be sent, not send

Be friend, not foe

Be cheerful, not woe

Be driven, not driving

Be living, not surviving

Be mild, not meek

Be day, not week

Be tempting, not taste

Be useful, not waste

Be truth, not confess

Be answer, not guess

Be beauty, not beast

Be banquet, not feast

Be butter, not toast

Be spirit, not ghost

Be whole, not half

Be laughter, not laugh

Be first, not last

Be present, not past
