The old Status Quo--might be nice to know
But I shun it as my guide
I seek to excel, and not just do well
Such as would give to me good stride.

I thirst to expand, get the upper hand
Not as a power play
But in use to grow, use what I know
To put excellence on display.

But I do have need, to gather seed
To be inspired by others good souls
Some to lead the way, some to help me stay
On course that triumph, I'd know.

Oh what good we do- as we stay true
To our quest on this sphere
In our give and take, so much is at stake
Mutual blessings, we should hold dear!

We can all aspire, and can each inspire
To give and take as we can
Then we all are blest, as we do our best--
For so is the Master Plan!

I thank the LORD everyday
He has given me something to say
And to share with others,
My Friends, my sisters, my brothers!

To God Be the Glory!

Words to live and grow by. This one speaks to the teacher and mentor in me. Peace.

"so much is at stake" so true, but your take has covered it admirably...nice write
