Block upon block, line upon line
Precept upon precept
Conflicts and struggles, obedience and diligence
Building blocks are hardly noticed
Work in progress going through process
Like gold through the furnace fire
The master builder in destined action
Like the potter that molds the clay
Though there is a master plan
There comes reshaping, realignment
Polishing and re-polishing
Until the perfect masterpiece emerges
And the finished work is ready
For admiration and approval
And a smile of satisfaction
It is finished.
