To serve humbly, you have to be able to see. ~ Ross Whiteaker

I know what you need. I’ll do it.
Who cares what  you say?
I know you decline from fear,
from low self-esteem, from ignorance.
I’ll do the grand thing, the fun thing,
leave you free to do the mundane,
the drab, the ordinary, those that don’t dare,
that plod on, where no recognition lights.
I will serve, prominently, noticed,
admired. And in serving so
I will have the reward of notice,
of recognition, of eminence.
And it will be empty and I’ll wonder
why you show so little appreciation,
why it feels so empty.
