Middleman

Luke 13:30 New English Translation (NET Bible)

30 But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

 

 Middleman

 

How to be a middleman when there is hunger at the top?

How to serve all in the pack when all you do is lead?

How to be content as such when everyone slows you down?

How to be patient when out of breath at someone else’s feet?

 

You wanted to be first in the race for admiration

You wanted to be noticed for the sake of little fame

You came just before last but were first in frustration

You’re the laughing stock as now your team you blame
