Footprints
Dear you,
to leave a footprint in the sand of time
you have got to beat the sandstorm,
And heed no attention to those who call you bookworm.
Failures
Do not let it scare you
for it is a way
to get back on track
when you venture astray.
Edison failed a thousand times
Just to light up our world.
Perseverance
It is a dreaded pool
being avoided by a fool
for only those with the heart of patience
can get to its depth without drowning.
Opportunity
It looks like pebble
to the ignorant mind
whilst he cast his precious stones
down beneath the sea bed.
Dedication
This should be your bride
or the groom in your dreams
For the more acquaintance built
the better you can become.
