The Most Important Day

In an interview, the sports star recalled
A highlight he remembered well
It said it ranked above all the rest
To all who would listen, he loved to tell

The broker boasted of his stock
And of one crucial choice he made
The most important day, he said
In his memory this one wouldn't fade

The building located at first and main
Where a lady owned a thriving shop
Business exceeded her expectations
This success ushered her near the top

All of these are to be admired
Drive and ambition earn respect
Choices often shape destiny *
Talents no one should neglect

Many stories we could enumerate
Of the day a crucial choice was made
Will it be one that endures storms
Or will it be as flowers that fade

After all is said and done
When we consider eternity
There is nothing more important
Than choosing our final destiny

* (Luke 12: 16 - 21)
