AMBITION, by                    
First Line: What use in heaven could I ever be
Last Line: To dream and rhyme for him eternally?
Subject(s): Ambition; Faith; Belief; Creed


What use in heaven could I ever be
When all I do on earth is rhyme and dream,
Spinning out endless verses by the ream?

If I could only here, attainment see
And by my rhyme bring up some souls with me,
Might I in heaven God's poet laureate be --
To dream and rhyme for Him eternally?
