FROM the VALLEY BELOW

Hi up there in the surface
This is the valley below
How did you reach the surface?
Determination would have to be obvious
It took everything you had in endurance
Your own inspiration was the influence
A desire you knew you had to fulfill
It took a strong will
Perhaps even a sleeping pill
For courage you see
Valleys sometimes people never get out
Figure that one as you are moving about
Purpose must sit in
That is surfacing begins
No cultivate
Reality in relate
Valleys are circumstances being hard knock challengers
Valleys made you ready
Understanding that held steady
No time to fail
Just a smooth surface sail
Valleys are what start the trail
One becomes prepared with a strategy
Valleys out and surfaces in
