Poem
EXCELLENCE Sometimes life is like a see-saw You tend to swing up and down Going up higher and higher And coming down lower and lower Only to see yourself up again……. Possibly higher than before Viewing life from that perspective You get to see that to go higher the force pushing you should be greater So you hide your fears of falling And persevering, you go through the hardships of life Sometimes you feel you're imprisoned in a cell Yet you try so hard to excel So you merge your cells together Column by column Creating more space to showcase your work Thriving through thick and thin Viewing the thorns as flowers Knowing that at the end of the tunnel Is the light So bright, And so fixed are your eyes, that you do not even stop to listen to the lies, Only to realize that, negative words tend to hinder progress I may be speaking in parables But my message is simple Life is too early to give up They say opportunity comes once But there are a million opportunities you haven't yet created You may stumble, fall, break and cry But rise, get your broken pieces together Piece to piece heal your shattered dreams and overcome There are more within your inner man than you know The Wright brothers were right when they witnessed the birds fly Don't be discouraged when your ideas are ridiculed Your plane may take time to go into the atmosphere It may begin with small distances But a day will come when it'll shoot up Higher than you even imagined Higher than the world has ever witnessed Life is too early to give up There are more great things ahead Life is like the see-saw Know that, a time will come for you to rise again Life is like a prison But to excel You'll need to merge your cells Row by row, and column by column To create a bigger working space And Life is full of hidden opportunities to excellence
