I wrote this the other day at school, I hope you like it.
Has it been 4 years or 40
Since I first sat in one of these chairs
Waiting with anticipation,
To receive my reward.
The one I worked to earn.
It seems like yesterday that I was,
But a lifetime ago,
That I was nieve enough,
To believe,
That it actually counted for something,
In the grand scheme of all that life is.
A bit of paper,
A bit of ink,
A year of hard work,
But what was accomplished,
That will last a lifetime.
Championship trophies will one day collect dust, and be forgotten.
But to see the face,
Of one that has been set free,
From fear and pain,
Is a reward to which none compares,
And which will never be forgotten.
Gold medals are wonderful things,
But without family and friends,
What are they actually worth?
Then I wrote a christian version:
Has it been 4 years or 40

Waiting with anticipation,
To receive my reward.
The one I worked to earn.
It seems like yesterday that I was,
But a lifetime ago,
That I was nieve enough,
To believe,
That it would make a difference,
In kingdom of heaven.
A bit of paper,
A bit of ink,
A year of hard work,
But what was accomplished,
That will last a lifetime.
Championship trophies will one day collect dust, and be forgotten.
But to see the face,
Of one that has found the Lord,
From fear and pain,
Is a reward to which none compares,
And which will never be forgotten.
Gold medals are wonderful things,
But without family and friends,
What are they actually worth?
I like them both.
