That Prize

~

I know we all want to get our names in the hall of fame. 

To sign autographs, perform solos, 

And not share the credits. 

~

I know we all want the world to know who we are; 

We are talented, 

We are expressive, 

We are to be loved. 

~

I know we all want to reach the highest heights, 

And look down and wave. 

To be lost in the applause, 

Pat ourselves on the back. 

I know we all want greatness, 

But at what cost? 

~

Don’t we want to do all we can, 

To make His name glorious, 

Let His light shine? 

Well don’t be afraid to build on what others have done before, 

Sometimes it’s okay to not build the foundation, and just finish the job.
