Day 20: Silver Platter

If I achieve the world on a silver platter

Or lug its mass on my shoulders,

I would have obtained pure satisfaction,

After all is said and done,

If I stand up for the glory of something worthwhile.

I have climbed up to that stage in life

Where I perceive everything working out right for me

Whether in peace or thro adversity.

So if in my quest to achieve

I stumble and underachieve

My pride will not be the praise I receive

But the grace by which I did live.
