~*Drive & Driven*~ (188 hits)

There's A Difference Between "Drive" And "Driven -

The One Is Selfish, The Other God-Given -

For The " Driven Man" Has But One Goal,

Just Worldly Wealth And Not " Riches Of Soul" -

And Daily He's Spurred On To Reach An Attain

A Higher Position, More Profit And Gain,

Ambition And Wealth Become His Great Need

As Daily He's " Driven" By Avarice And Greed . . .



But Most Blessed Are They Who Use " Drive"

To Work And Zeal So All Men May Survive,

For While They Forfeit Great Personal Gain

Their Work And Their Zeal Are Never In Vain . . .

For They Contribute To The Whole Human Race

And We Cannot Survive Without Growing In Grace,



So Help Us, Dear God, To Choose Between

The "Driving Force" That Rules Our Routine

So We May Make Our Purpose And Goal

Not Power And Wealth

But The Growth Of Our Soul . . .

And Give A Strength And Drive And Desire

To Raise Our Standards And Ethics Higher

So All Of Us And Not Just A Few Of Us

May Live On Earth - As You Want Us To. Posted By: Judith A. Birt
