Accolades

Praise upon prolific praise
Heaped up to the hilt,
An avalanche of accolades
Falling from the sky.
A maraschino cherry topping
Mounds of whipping cream,
Tickles of a Ferris wheel
Twenty stories high.

Beat the drum for all who come
To sing their heroes praise.
Shine the subtle spotlight
On the golden haloed hair.
Tell the hallowed haunting tale
That led to paths of glory,
Trials and tribulations overcome
To get to there.

Will you find it difficult
Accepting tributes prize?
Have you earned the worshiping
Reflected in their eyes?
We are but mere mortals
Acting out our escapades,
Hoping to be worthy
Of accepting accolades.
