Quiet Success


I Thessalonians 4:11

You are taught by God to love one another,
Love them as your own sister and brother;
For you do it toward all to be abound more,
Aspire to live quiet not causing an uproar;
Mind your business; work with your hands,
As being charged for meeting the demands.
During our lives we are taught to compete,
Keep striving forward never accept defeat;
For you are in a race to do it as the best,
Better than any of your peers and the rest;
Trying to be the best can cause you to feud,
Before you know it you become very rude;
Our competing nature forgets a simple rule,
To just love one another and not be cruel;
That's not saying about the best you can be,
Just don't be mowing everyone over you see;
Worry about your job and not your colleague,
You might find yourself out of your league;
Quietly work to succeed without any fanfare,
And keep showing others how much you care.
