Fire Of The Refiner

The old man went down to the stream

To gather dirt and rocks and sand.

The work is hard and days are long

And many folks don't understand.


All this work is just a waste

Thats what they tell him, in their haste.

All this work will yield no fruit

And leave you broke and destitute.


He calmly takes his precious ore

And sifts out all he does not need.

He crushes all that’s left to dust

So precious metals may be freed.


Into a furnace it is placed

To rid the precious ore of waste.

This process is a grueling one

But is a part that must be done.


Once the furnace does its part

The precious metal is refined.

The beauty of the gold now shines

Because hard work he did not mind.


All must endure this painful task

But why, is something you may ask.

The great reward that waits for you.

Is worth all that you have to do!
