What Makes A Winner? Poem by Tom Zart

Living by the power of prayer helps us be a winner
As we face life’s falsehoods, heartbreak, hatred and fears.
We are on our own but never truly alone
For God sees and feels our every action, thought and tears

What makes a winner in a lifetime of mortal deeds?
Is it wealth, education, good looks, talent or fame?
Heaven’s scale of success measures our Earthly dependence
On God’s love, trust, faith, goodness and who we shame.

All who believe Jesus as their Lord and Savor
Will be a winner on the battle field for their soul.
Apostle Paul and King David were victorious till death
Because serving their Master sustained their goal.
