Poem
Learn from the eagle how to soar with winds Spanning your wings to conquer tall peaks Float hopes high reaching sapphire blue skies Triumph with your smile as the world goes by When beset in clutches of troublesome plight Know that a new dawn always follows night My child, when it’s your turn, do what’s right Even a bright sunny day must cede to twilight If you want things easy, they won't be worth it Learn to swing ably if you wish to score a hit When the climb gets hard you must never quit Things that you regret, you may never repeat Glint someone’s clouds, be the rainbow on arc Be the emissary of light for the adrift in dark Edify your doldrums, be always on your mark Lift somebody’s dawn, be the sweet song of lark Walk along humility when tempted by pride Learn from those saintly, living lives dignified Hold your balance or you’ll tumble and fall Let the mountains teach you how to stand tall When something goes wrong, do not justify What’s spurious and superficial, do not glorify How well you do, rests on how hard you try When you hear the call of duty, never ask why Let happy thoughts reign your state of mind When emotions overwhelm, always choose kind Spread the wealth of love to help mankind Be the precious gemstone that is hard to find Glint someone’s clouds, be the rainbow on arc Be the emissary of light for the adrift in dark Edify your doldrums, be always on your mark Lift somebody’s dawn, be the sweet song of lark December 21, 2020 Placed 1st: Your advice to the youth poetry contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Placed 5th: Your choice (41) contest by Brian Strand
