Achievement

Achievement Raymond, Canada In the humdrum and stress of existence, Have you clung to the dreams of your youth: When a star in the distance you sighted, Shining forth with the glory of truth? You've decided your hopes are all futile, Your ambitions you placed far too high, That the good things of Life are not for you; In the dust do your dreams now all lie? God ne'er mocked mortal man with desires, Which were more than his pow'r to gain; Ah, beware lest you're lashed with the knowledge, 'Twas small faith that prevented your gain; Ah yes, this is a world of achievement, There's no time to let slip idly by, And still trust in yourself and your Maker, Who'll guard o'er you with unfailing eye.
