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.
