The Delicate Balance

Do your best here
and accumulate what you can
to make your family happy
and be your family's man,
but don't lose sight
of the future far from here
where He alleviates worries
and any and all fear.
Do your best here
to provide loved ones comfort,
to make those around you
feel free from the hurt,
but don't focus so much
on supplying contentment on earth
when the focus should be solely
on the post-worldly birth.
Remember the fact
that there is nothing wrong
with doing your best here
and doing it for a time so long,
but push for the finish line
in anticipation of the arrival
of the Savior back here
and your own to heaven that will fulfill.
