Conceive and Achieve

He who said what the mind can conceive 
The same can ably achieve
Was not only right but also in touch with the Creator
Who all endowments has given the human mind,
That nothing could function better
And none that can find.

How easy to conceive!
How then easy to achieve!
These are one and the same,
Both equally easy to attain;
Just like affluence and fame,
Neither can exist devoid of the other's grain!

After a very super weekend I am back at the soup reading. I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Hannington. There are so many diverse writers here and I am so happy I am able to read most of them. Have a wonderful week and may you find what you are looking for in life and in your writing. Love, Carol
