Awards can be good, awards can be bad,
awards have the power to make you happy or sad?
Say it's not so, for mere awards cannot make you grow,
they can only help you know, the correct seed to grow.
Awards give the hint, that you're doing what's correct,
but you do not need awards, your winning to detect.
Winning is internal, advertising is SO infernal,
better to heed the instructions of youth,
when you learned from parents maternal.
Mom knew back then, that awards were not needed,
that excellence from within is the winner,
well-seeded,
excellence from within, is YOUR winner,
well-seated.
Awards can mislead you, which means "deceive you,"
use those awards as just one single stepping stone!!!!!
Awards do exist, awards for your list,
awards make you feel somehow blessed and kissed.
Awards cannot shine in the places you search,
the highest place is your internal perch.
Awards of your own, awards you intone,
awards can but serve, one at a time.
What is the purpose, you seek to serve,
What is the courage for which you show the nerve?
Will you grab the awards that your values rate first,
will you carry more awards, when you ride that hearse?
Awards might be good and awards might be bad,
awards wield a power to make you ridiculously glad.
For all that awards, deliver, you say, take another look,
T O D A Y.
Don't hoe that same row, for awards do not make you know,
they can only help you to show, the correct seed to grow.
Awards give the hint, that you're doing what's correct,
but you do not need awards, your winning to detect.
