LIFE IS A TEST

Life is one big test—
An on-going “final exam.”
We’re given the talents we need,
with many chances to succeed.
If we only knew
what to do;
And what was false
and what was true .

As it turns out,
we are just stewards,
renting this life,
managing our resources;
charged to do out best,
using our talents
to increase the harvest.

And we do get graded—
Not by some absolute standard
or within some bell curve;
But against ourselves—
How well we used what we had,
helping others get a better grade.
