Determination Decided like the ant, Don’t give up; move the plant, Declining the word can’t. Driving always forward, Do acts to beat the ‘’nays.’’ Daring yourself onward, Dream of successful days. 8/28/16 Pleiades D - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kim Merryman Total of Syllables 42

Yes Kim, that's where the ant came from. I guess I'm getting old. I assumed everybody knew the song. Thanks.
