Douglas Ace Poet Rhyme

-reach Beyond Yourself-

Why not reach beyond yourself
at the start of this new day ?
 Why are you sometimes content to live
that life which seems so mundane ?

Do you not know there are things in you,
many wonders waiting to be born ?
These you must harness the drive to pursue
or you'll find yourself living the norm.

There is that place within your heart
that looks to places beyond.
You once counted the cost it would take to start
but something kept you from going on.

It doesn't matter, what ever your age,
 there is no excuse that will do.
Today is the start of a brand new page
and a new journey waiting for you.


Douglas L. Ace
