OTHERS

Others can make you good;

Others can make you bad;

Others can make you miserable;

Others can make you glad.

You'll note I've mentioned others

But this is what is meant:

Just don't depend upon others

If you aim to be content!

And we all need to recognise that we are among others’ others.

I don't depend on others
For comments on my work
Just get enough contentment with
My own handiwork...
