Commendation

by Joel Howard

You want commendation

You want to be praised now

Somehow

But a muffin

In an oven

Has to be cooked first, friend

'Else its no good, friend

So you and I

Like that muffin

Must wait enough

Then

Praise will be birthed, friend

Stay in that oven

Don't let the doubt win

Your commendation

Will be great when

You've fought condemnation

And receive His commendation
