Reaching Upwards
It takes just one step at a time
moving forward and upward
but not stopping for a laze
making sure you hear every wise word
Wisdom is the true source of knowledge
without it you lag way behind
your brain cells will get weak
if not fed they'll go blind
Feed the mind with good books
let the intellect soak it in
it'll instil strength to the brain
together they'll make you win
The body also needs strengthened
for the rocky road ahead
to make sure you reach the target
sustaining yourself with strong bread
So keep looking upwards
never lose sight of the goal
keep these feet moving
till you hit the winning pole
