These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Favor

When truly liked by those we know,
we've favor, and to spare.
When truly blest, in friendship grow
our days are built with care.

When given opportunity
to blossom in our gift
as favored ones we're fully free
by each heart to others lift.

A favored path is blossom-strewn
by those, who give their best
to others, who "just hang the moon,"
and pass each earthly test.

A world of self-willed humans miss
the blessings of the few,
who do their best to greatness kiss.
So favored as they do.

The great are rarely known by all
for favor comes to those,
who serve the small and breathy call.
The masses never know.
