Food For Thought

Changing directions doesn't mean that you have changed your mind Do not accept a "No" until you have heard it again and again You feel 'less' in everything, thinking you'll never win That's the time to look to the hills and pray again You recently missed the mark and lost your spark So reassess, rethink, retool, return, and restart Don't allow the word "No" to take away your glow Just remember that the river finds its own way to flow There is no wall that can stop the ocean waves Don't give in and build your dwellings in a cave So you spilled the milk; wipe it up and pour another glass So you lost the race and came in next to last Train harder next time and run again to be fast It's what's inside that puts you at the head of the class 011921PS
