Fame is but a flickering flame;
A flickering flame in full flight.
One unknown in the morning is
Known at noon, forgotten that night.

People come, and people go,
And people are forgotten.
Pride is such a fleeting thing,
And fame – it is half rotten.
The Lord rules, and the Lord reigns,
The Lord, He is forever.
The only place of lasting worth,
Is in His holy favor. – eab, 8/84

It really doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter at all,
I’m in my Father’s care.
He rules this footstool here below,
From His great big, heavenly chair.
He’s in charge of my little life,
My fame and fortune, children and wife,
So it really doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter at all,
I’m in my Father’s care. -eab, 12/1969
