Goal To Gold....
The devil takes his taxes
before you pay your fare
on your way to the due of you
completely unaware
Shortchanged may seem your billfold
your dreams a distant past
your search continues for the gold
your mould has been recast
Far reaching are the teasing
outstretched are fingers touch
mystery of the meaning
how Midas had so much
Olympic gold medallions
awarded to the best
disciplined sweat in training
surpassing ultimate test
The gold within' the warrior soul
refined the metal first
striving for the medal is the goal
effort from hunger and thirst.....
