Work is not all there is to life.

Recognition and Accolades (from a very proud grandfather and father) By Franklin Price 7/28/2017 Recognition and accolades are coming your way Hard work and intelligence are making your day Not much luck about it; black and white, not just gray They must say what they need and get out of your way When defined what's expected, you will do every bit You'll dance well in the spot of the light that was lit If it's there to do, you'll surely not quit But the job is not you and you are not it Do more than's expected when playing work's game But don't lose who you are in all of the fame Make time for yourself while you're making a name There's life after work, and they're not both the same Apply yourself fully, no matter the task Of course you can do it, if they only will ask I'm very proud of you, in your glory I bask At the end of the day, you can take off your mask
