Each person sets goals for themselves and the trophies that life gives us for succeeding means something to each person. In the secular world they show that we succeeded but in the hereafter the only trophy that means anything Is how we treated each other as we were trying to win these trophies.

Jon,
The opening pair of lines grabbed this reader and held him tight, and from there on the images flowed thoughtfully and seamlessly each one compelling and relevant, leaving me thoroughly satisfied as good poetry does... a wonderful commentary on values, legacies and inheritances. Bravo!
