Winners
Mark 10:31 New English Translation (NET Bible)31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Winners
True character even in games is clear.
Motives exposed … without fear.
It is just a game! You know that dear
let me have my fun.
Wins’ perspective … point of view.
Is to win … to pay your dues?
While trust in you becomes unglued
is that worth the price?
Are the great winners in this life
maybe the ones, who survive the strife
or the ones, who understand the prize
that awaits them … who do right?
It is fearful to be very fast
to come in first … instead of last.
The winners are victims now in your cast.
The world adores you … while it lasts.
And the one, who struggled and came in last.
Stands at the side … ignored and sad.
He gave his best … Yes, all he had.
Why did he come in last?
The reasons we see clearer … when we pray.
We know that the last will be first one day.
And when glorified … we'll be the first to say
I am glad … that I was last.
