Who needs it?
Accolades, praise, fodder for pride—
personal sense designed to hide the fact
that God is All. And man is, and has, and does as God's reflection.
I thank you for your "thank-you," but no thank you to
boost for, or toast to, an accomplished mortal.
I know myself as God's complete reflection—
including the Father's praise,
"Well done, son."
And so, my friend, do you.
Yes. So do you.
