The Prize

Composed as part of a Reply to a Review of a poem by LisetteCanWrite!, expressing her sorrow at Mankind's selfishness and short-sightedness

THE PRIZE

No matter how the Prince tries
His goal he'll not ever realize
If his tawdry gifts we'd more despise
And keep our Eyes UPON THE PRIZE!

This is so true, sometimes we focus on things we shouldn't.
I like this it leaves you with the aspects of what we should focus on.
At least this is what I saw in this write. But who knows how my mind works.

We are made of better substance than we give ourselves credit for, I think. Very thought provoking!

Oh yes.........the prize is often hard to hold our focus as there are too many things to take our eyes off the beauty of such a wonderful gift!
It is good to have a reminder of the importance of that which should be the true, and lasting values of life!
