Finishing First-Rate (Here in Lunch Lady Land)

Finish strong

Even as you hear

Summer’s song.

Don’t think of quitting

Don’t think of giving in

You won’t pass

This way again.

Finish well

Finish strong

Pick up your step

Carry on.

There is still

Work to do

Challenges to meet,

Tasks to get through.

Finish strong

Remember the goal

And press on.

Don’t wish these days away

Don’t simply “get by”

Fix your thoughts on things that matter,

Complacency deny.

Finish well

Finish strong

The end is near

It won’t be long.

I know you’re tired,

Looking for a break

But don’t settle for less,

The kingdom is first-rate.
