The Prize

l sought to scale the heights of fame
And above all others place my name;
Then. this fair place at last attained
Earth's full reward I'd feel was gained.
All the strength that was mine 1 lent
And power of will freely spent.
Not anything was left undone
To gain the prize for which run.
1 shaved to reach the goal I'd set
But never near it could get.
While other men saw-fresh and strong
Toward the heights viewed pass along.
Their secret set out to seek;
And found that fame would never speak
With one who gave no slightest thought
To mankind; or no service brought.
Then from the heights my eyes drew.
With selfless work busy grew.
The labor done. to rest l turned
And found life's richest prize I'd earned.
The fame for which I'd labored long
Now bound me with no slavish thong.
Pain. toil-for men are nobly spent
And always bring to man-CONTENT.
