Cory Long Poet Couplet

I Carry With Me Determination

Ever since I was a lad,
I have battled many of my tasks.

I have worked twice as hard as my peers, 
I have cried two times the tears.

I have always told myself I can do anything if I put my mind to it.
I could have anything if I worked hard enough for it.

Someday I will have my Masters degree in OT.
My name will be on the cover of a book for all to see.

I will live in the log cabin I dream about at night.
My children will always want to be tucked in tight.
 
All this is possible, because I am the master of my own destiny, 
While on my journey to Heaven I carry with me my determination.

Paula Swanson "If I could carry what"
