The Finest Apple
You must learn that you cannot be loved by all people, 
You can be the finest apple in the world; ripe, juicy,
Succulent, and offer yourself to all.

You must remember there are people who do not like
apples.
You must understand that if you are the world's finest apple,
And someone you love does not like apples, you have a
choice
Of becoming a banana.
But you must be warned that if you choose to become a
Banana, you will be a second rate banana; but you will 
Always be the finest apple.
You must also realise that if you choose to be a second-rate
Banana, there will be people who do not like bananas.
Furthermore, you can spend your life trying to become the
best banana, which is impossible if you are an apple;

              Or you can seek again to be the finest apple.
