Impact

Dirt flies into air
Steel target on an incline
Mocking, teasing, out of reach
Standing tall, erect
Lead ball erupts, impact sure
Bullet whizzes by intact.





For all those who have missed the target, once in there life.

Nicely written. We have all missed the target sometimes in our lives. Keep trying and you are bound to hit it. Mom
