I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
sighz... have been some time since i wrote something here again... have wanted to write but stopped myself... sometimes due to time, laziness or watever...haha.. anyway, din manage to write here. i have started a pen and paper journal now though... so... blog, u might be left alone for sometime..haha
have come here to COMPLAIN! but im nt sure wat i shld complain abt... hhaaa... my work? my family? or just my life? haha... i think im overwork and underpaid. i noe im wkg in a non profit orgn.. i noe im wkg in a christian orgn. but i just dun understd y non profit all have to command such a low pay. even the mkt rate is abt the same... nt only christian orgns.. of coz there r some great paying ones... but they are out of the norm. even PM Goh says that non profit orgn shld pay mkt rate.. but but where is the money going to come from?? thats another interesting point coz as some mgt point out, donors or public will be more convinced that the money be used for those who are in need or those whom the orgn are reaching out to, than to pay a higher slary to the workers. true... i think thats true too. but just as im typing this, another thought came to me. but y do we the ppl who are helping ppl has to command a lower pay to help ppl? and social workers have to study so much to get a miserable pay instead of a high flying one. c'mon, the social workers paid the same kind of sch fees as the other fac... not including those doc or similar kind of course lah... so isit thats y ppl will say that it is a noble job? coz is a "zhi li bu tao hao" kind of thing... underpaid and overwork? sighz... anyway, though i meant it, this meant nothing... haa.. ironic isnt it? i just nd to voice out my grouses!
man as a whole are just self-centered!
thats y for the low pay for non profit compared to the proft making orgn. coz man are willing to pay to get something for themselves and not donate as much to an orgn. we still do the same mktg. but the rtns are difft.
