Victory

I read this poem today, written by Hubert Kauffman.  I reflected upon the goals I’d set this year and last year; the ideas I’d had and the progress I made.  The only person who ever stops me… is me!  What an motivation to make the most of the time God gave us!

You are the man who used to boast

That you’d achieve the utttermost,

Some day.

You merely wished a show,

To demonstrate how much you know

And prove the distance you can go…

Another year we’ve just passed through.

What new ideas came to you?

How many big things did you do?

______________________________________

Time… left twelve fresh months in your care.

How many of them did you share

With opportunity and dare

Again where you so often missed?

______________________________________

We do not find you on the list of Makers God.

Explain that fact!

Ah no, ’twas not the chance you lacked!

As usual – you failed to act!
