Persevere

Muscles pumping Gears turning Lungs gasping Mind racing Petal round the park Father knows Trials faced Handicaps Overcome Choices good and bad Show you How to Live here Live now Move beyond the pain Got to go Got to move Got to push Got to focus Focus past the pain 14 yards 14 miles Leg cramps Don’t care Only that it ends Stop Off path Curbside Kneel down Look close Tiny little plants They Have Pushed through Concrete Preserved Never giving up.

That is amazing how those plants can come up through the concrete or asphalt but if you want it in the yard they won't grow there...Keep the creative pen flowing as you look at the minute in the world...Welcome to soup ...Hope that your stay is long and happy filled with much reading of poetry and posting many poems.Sara
