The Craftsman's Objectivity

We show them the way,
We clear the path for them,
We pull them out of obscurity,
Into the threshold of success,
They're excited at this point,
They are propelled to
 different levels of accomplishments,
Some are unyielding,
Some rebel,
Some are recalcitrant,
Some are obstinate,
They seem not to understand,
They can’t fully comprehend,
That we bask in their glory,
Their light brings us to the limelight,
We share a fraction of its luminance,
We go overboard in our effort,
To ensure they have a
 smoother sail than we had,
They might not see this now,
Time will speak for us,
Time will embolden all,
Then they'll know,
We don’t live for now but for the future.
