Need some poetic motivation?

Do you sometimes make promises to yourself to keep going



Regardless of what everyone else is doing



A promise to take all things as they come 



For in the long run

Worrying about what could be



What could happen 

Will simply stifle dreams 



So as they say in Latin



Carpe Diem 

Seize the day



Be that vision of success

For all to see
